Paxal | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

The Alsatian artist is eclectic and curious about everything, which has led him to feed his work with a myriad of references, mixing genres and periods and creating a kind of painting that confronts and interprets our history and our Western lifestyle. Paxal begins with acrylic paint that he applies directly to the empty canvas or on the glass of an old painting and then he lets his gestures move freely to tell a new story each time, directly from his imagination. Intensively figurative, graphic and colourful, his work represents a condensed collection of influences that live inside the artist, ranging from the world of comic books to Polynesian tattoos, including Aztec aesthetics, street art, the works of artists such as Picasso, and the Dutch painter Jérôme Bosch or even the Italian painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo.
