Rose and rose petals on paper, signed and dated in the bottom right-hand corner

The catalogue of the 2012 Galerie de la Marine winners’ exhibition will be presented to the purchaser.
Having graduated with honours from the Villa Arson in Nice in 2012, Quentin Derouet has since been represented by galleries in Paris, Nice, Grenoble, as well as in Shanghai and Beirut. Chantal Helenbeck introduced him to Meilland in Antibes, who created a variety of rose for him; the artist then applied it directly to his canvas, crushed, macerated, diluted and charred. It was again Chantal Helenbeck who accompanied the artist to China, where he met the world’s leading rose grower.
The colour of the material sometimes changes on the canvas over time, transforming the work into a living, organic piece.
