William Gaucher’s ( (b. 1993; Lives and works in Berlin) paintings gather layers of marks, tonal fields, and gestures into compositions that develop their own internal coherence. Each surface records a sequence of decisions, creating a visual sediment in which earlier gestures remain perceptible beneath later adjustments. The works unfold with a deliberateness that reflects a close engagement with painting as a cumulative process.
The canvases operate as sites of recollection, where echoes of forms and colour relationships accrue gradually. Gaucher’s approach fosters a sense of atmospheric density without fixing the paintings to a single narrative or referent. They reward sustained attention, revealing how memory and intuition shape the evolution of their surfaces.
