Entre Montagne et Mer by Hortense Bataille – Crumpled Paper Affiche

Entre Montagne et Mer (‘between mountain and sea’) is a panoramic view of the southern coast: violet-blue mountains, a calm strip of sea and a foreground of rounded trees and gardens in vivid greens, yellows and turquoise.

Its long horizontal format makes it perfect above a sofa, sideboard or bed, where it reads almost like a window onto the Mediterranean.

The crumpled paper technique

Each panel is printed on recycled paper and then crumpled and worked by hand, giving it a soft, textured, almost fabric-like surface – so no two pieces are exactly alike. A limited edition made in France.

How to hang

Delivered rolled in a cardboard tube. Hang it raw with pins or tacks for a relaxed, studio feel, add a pair of wooden hanging battens, or have it mounted or framed.

About the artist

Hortense Bataille-Watkins lives and works in Marseille. Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Caen and in Paris studios, she spent seven years in the United States refining her watercolour, oil and pastel work alongside renowned painters. Her paintings play with light, shadow and bold colour harmonies – nature-inspired, half abstract and half dreamlike, full of joy and energy.
