This vibrant, original oil on canvas by contemporary French artist Céline Chourlet (b. 1969) captures a lush "Bouquet d'Iris Mauve" in a textured yellow vase. Known for her bold use of color and contemporary style, Chourlet draws inspiration from the light and flora of the French countryside.

The composition features deeply saturated blues and purples set against a warm, multi-tonal background, creating a spirited and modern floral still life. Rich impasto brushwork throughout gives the surface extraordinary depth and texture. The work is signed "CHOURLET" in the lower right and remains in its original custom white-washed wood frame.

Provenance & Authenticity:
This piece includes its original Certificate of Authenticity (Facture-Certificat) from Galerie Chourlet in Paris, dated January 19, 2001. The reverse of the canvas is titled, signed, and dated "Automne 2000" by the artist. French canvas size 12F.
