2: Daniel Couture review

The drama of light and shadow: the world of Daniel Couture

Daniel Couture is a painter who has overcome sorrow and suffering by painting and loving his family. He met designer Francine at the age of 20 and married her at the age of 25. As a self-employed designer, he overcame difficult times with his wife and raised their only son, Jean. After finishing his design work in their small Parisian apartment, he would spend hours painting his favorite pictures. When Jean graduated from university, he quit his design job, which he had been quite successful in, and became a professional painter. His wife, Francine, continued to support Daniel Couture in both his work and family life. Daniel Couture's paintings seem to burst with the light, colors, and joy of southern France. Looking at his paintings, I am filled with a sense of happiness. Daniel Couture says, "Life is a series of suffering. I endured the suffering in order to do the work I love as a designer and painter, and to protect my beloved family. I want to paint paintings that bring happiness and comfort to people who have overcome suffering and are living sincerely. That is why my paintings should be full of joy and hope.

Gallery Adeka Yasuhiro Takeda

Daniel Couture's paintings are not just beautiful in their harmony of colors. They are vivid depictions of nature, and also literary works born from his sensibility and experience. Essential matters are precisely stated. Even sensual episodes are quoted within them. It is a happy time to stand in front of his work and feel a familiar emotion. And Daniel Couture provides us with many happy times. [From the Daniel Couture Art Collection by critic Jean-Roger Vallières]
