Born in 1965 Grasse, France, Philippe Pasqua began painting at the age of 18, and explores various techniques in his work, primarily painting, drawing and more recently, sculpture.Pasqua’s work strikes the visitor with an almost physical impact, but also like a vision that is at the same time explosive and incisive. The monumental format of the artist’s grand drawings and canvases is dictated by the breadth of his gestures — a dance where brutality and finesse, trance and lucidity alternate.
Katya Traboulsi’s work has been internationally collected and exhibited in many art-forums including Algerian museum of Modern Art and the international Armory Show in NYC.
