Artwork of the Day: Les Ailes (2018) by Corinne Malfreyt
A Diptych Celebrating Movement, Emotion, and the Poetics of the Human Body
Les Ailes (2018), Diptych by Corinne Malfreyt — available exclusively at Dance ArtWorks Gallery.
Today’s featured artwork is a breathtaking diptych by French contemporary painter Corinne Malfreyt, a key figure in the Dance ArtWorks Gallery’s curated selection of fine art original paintings celebrating movement, gesture, and embodied emotion. Her 2018 composition, Les Ailes , unfolds as a poetic study of transformation — a moment where the human form expands beyond itself, suspended between flight and stillness.
Why This Painting Matters
Les Ailes is part of Malfreyt’s wider exploration of dance-inspired art, where the body becomes both subject and metaphor. With her signature blend of oil and acrylic, she creates textured surfaces that vibrate with emotional resonance. The two panels work in dialogue, balancing tension and flow, offering collectors a museum-quality statement piece that commands any architectural space.

A Curatorial Perspective
Malfreyt’s work occupies a rare space between expressionism and choreographic abstraction. In Les Ailes, her brushwork mimics the rise and fall of breath, creating visual rhythms akin to contemporary dance. The palette — soft whites, muted shadows, and delicate highlights — conveys a sense of transcendence that feels both intimate and monumental.
As part of Dance ArtWorks Gallery’s ongoing curated Corinne Malfreyt exhibition, this diptych stands out as one of her most architecturally impactful works, offering collectors a refined blend of serenity, motion, and conceptual depth.
