The effect is warm, sunny and energetic, like a sunset caught mid-motion. Created on BFK paper and presented in a natural wood frame with a mat.

A burst of color for a bedroom, hallway or reading corner, Orange Whispers pairs beautifully with neutral rooms, deep blues, or warm earthy palettes. It also works well beside its Orquevaux siblings in a gallery arrangement. This piece will be carefully packed for safe shipping.

Medium: Mixed media on BFK paper (wood frame), 2024. Dimensions (height x width x depth): 36 × 29 × 1 1/4 in.

Like much of Corcelle's work, the surface is built up in layers of paint, collage, graphite and scratched lines on handmade-feeling BFK paper, so the work reads one way from across the room and another up close. Expect small discoveries of texture and color the longer you look, and the frame and mat make it ready to display.

Christiane Corcelle is a French-American mixed media artist based in Massachusetts. Her intuitive, layered practice spans painting, printmaking, collage, and de-collage, building richly textured surfaces that invite close exploration. Guided by curiosity and openness to process, she transforms color, shape, and found materials into works that are both dynamic and contemplative.

Drawing inspiration from global experiences and cultural textures, Corcelle has exhibited widely across the United States and internationally, including shows in France, Vietnam, China, Cuba, Peru, and Azerbaijan. Her work is represented in public and private collections worldwide, among them the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston), the Boston Public Library, the Art Complex Museum, the Contemporary Art Center, the Vietnam Fine Arts Association in Hanoi, the Danang Fine Arts Museum, the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, Universidade Feevale in Brazil, Las Casas de las Américas in Cuba, and the Permanent Collection of Château d’Orquevaux in Orquevaux, France.

She also designed 60 Years of North American Prints, the Boston Printmakers’ award-winning publication. See less
