I Wanna Be Your Chien de Faïence

Coline Gaulot’s practice combines painting, sculpture, porcelain, writing and installation in a sensitive, narrative visual language, in which each work stands as the witness of a lived, suspended moment.

Her work explores intimate narratives, collective rituals and shared emotions, without ever turning them into spectacle. Swimming pools at night, arrested bouquets, birthday cakes, the remains of a feast and fragments of watery landscapes make up a body of familiar images charged with emotional and symbolic weight.

A graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux and of the Fukuoka University of the Arts in Japan, where she studied traditional painting, Coline Gaulot builds a body of work attentive to slow time, to the patient gesture and to the poetic charge of ordinary objects. Water runs through the work as a recurring motif.

The exhibition brings together large painted formats — “Le Grand Chien” (2022, 325 × 185 cm), “Les fleurs juste avant” (2019, 232 × 160 cm), “Le bouquet d’anniversaire” (2020, 228 × 182 cm) — and a group of stoneware and porcelain pieces, including “Chien faïence” (2026), “Le grand tas de frites” (2021) and “Le retour du homard” (2021).

An exhibition supported by Château Desmirail.
