« Regards » sur la ville par l’artiste Christel Soubeyre

The Paris based artist Christel Soubeyre will share her works in a solo exhibition from April 7 to 13, in the gallery Béatrice Hodent de Broutelles, Paris 7e. 

The exhibition Regards is sponsored by Rachida Dati, mayor of the 7th arrondissement and former minister. 

A reconversion inspired by the sea

It’s an amazing reconversion for this centralienne engineer, triggered by a heightened state of consciousness (“sentiment oceanique”) so well described by French writer Romain Rolland. 

Seascapes and shipyards are the favorite themes of New York Academy of Art-trained painter Christel Soubeyre.

« I have always enjoyed painting, especially seascapes. Several years ago, I found myself in front of a seascape that I had already seen represented in painting. I am sure that it is partly thanks to this painting that I had this feeling. An artist’s eye offers the possibility of altering your view on things like an implant. »

The urban scene during lockdown

In the last two years, with the succession of lockdowns, she has worked on the urban scene: Paris and New York, where she has lived for 13 years. She will present about 30 artworks during the exhibition Regards.

Her paintings are characterized by the use of a vivid palette, a work on the rendering of materials according to light, temperature and time. Firstly, the artist starts with photography. Then the painting breathes a liveliness and a singular warmth into the marine or urban landscape. Her medium is oil painting: « it allows a research of the representation of reality but also of the feeling of it. Oil painting « lives » and leaves room for the unpredictable » says the artist.
