Pierre Coupey Selected Work 2022-2024 Single Page Final Sept20 - Flipbook - Page 6
… it’s work of enduring, intimate loyalty to deeper sources, to the untroubled
nature of that to which it testifies, that of which one is unable to speak directly:
presence of the impossible, of something else than information, something
other than power. Another story, of faithful affinities in imagination, timeless, a
matter of love, the face of it the beautiful work, itself.
— Duncan McNaughton
In his work Coupey defies the power structure: breaking it apart and
reconfiguring its abstractions into organic markings that take on patterns of
their own –– commanding and releasing knowledge at a cellular level of being.
— Charlene Vickars
Coupey uses the term proprioception to refer to his embodied practice – that
is, being in a zone in which viewers of his work might also find themselves. Our
bodies themselves take our embodied minds, brains, feelings and spirits to a
place of understanding and experience that is beyond reason or words.
— Liz Wylie
