Geyre Pascal | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Pascal began by studying drawing and graphic arts. He then joined the School of Fine Arts in Paris to study sculpture and in the late 80s he began painting and exhibiting. His first subjects were about characters and bullfighting, working them in acrylic and mixing in collage and drawing, followed by a period devoted to sculpture in which he used salvaged wood and metal with characters made of earth. It is in collecting discoveries from the streets (rusty metal, wood) that Pascal’s creations begin; the idea of the work comes to him afterwards. He cuts shapes out of cardboard or forms characters out of earth, which, when painted, polished or coated with paper, are ready to become embedded in the various assemblies of recycled materials. The expressionism of these bodies, associated with reworked objects, highlights the subject matter. The work becomes, through this voluntary composition, an aesthetic contemplation and key to reflection on the human condition.
