After completing his artistic training, Michel Mouffe lived for 2 years in 1983 in the Maison Guiette, built by Le Corbusier in Antwerp in 1926. It was here that the young artist honed his sensibility and his eye, gradually allowing himself to be shaped by everything that Le Corbusier's rigorous architecture offered him and what characterised it: silence, balance and harmony of proportions, economy of means, subtle variations in light and shadow.

During these months of painting, Michel Mouffe, enveloped in silence, is attentive to the slightest variations in light, to the nuances of its intensity, to the praise of shadow. It is this silence, along with peace, that Le Corbusier wanted to offer mankind, as the most precious thing in our modern world.

At the end of her residency, Mouffe organised her first exhibition at the Maison Guiette, showing the works she had created during her stay. His canvases are invitations to enter the subtle flow of light and colour.

For Le Corbusier, architecture is ‘walking’. Moving in and around architecture is fundamental to understanding it. It cannot be appreciated by remaining static. A silent dialogue emerges from this architectural wandering through the lit spaces.
Michel Mouffe's large canvases - whose formats echo the proportions of Le Corbusier's Modulor - invite us to move in front of them if we are to savour their poetry. As we move slowly from one edge to the other, their chromatic nuances are revealed, as if we were immersed in them. Each canvas is an opening that leads us towards the intangible.
