Couturier was born in Dieppe, Normandy and is an artist whose works display bold figurative lines of the "Jeune Painture" Movement, has an abstract dimension, and a challenging, distinctive color technique. Couturier blends superimposed layers of oil paint with the goal of creating a composition that is a vigorous contrast of color on texture, texture on dimension, dimension on line. less
