Philippe Pasqua: new space

Paris. Will open its doors on 30 September 2010 at 7:30 PM. Shuttles from Porte Maillot between 7 and 20 PM. in the Paris Region, Philippe Pasqua. Will inaugurate a new space devoted to collective, innovative artistic experimentation as well as his own work. Situated in the nearby Paris suburbs, The Storage promises to be a place open to different audiences devoted to contemporary creation in all its forms: contemporary art, design, new technologies (sound and image), photography, architecture, etc.
Philippe Pasqua has been painting bodies and faces in a nearly compulsive manner for more than twenty years. Those who, like Pierre Restany, knew him in the early days were immediately struck by the physical and emotional power emanating from his canvasses. When this work is examined with a retrospective eye, one cannot help being struck by the inescapable nature and coherence of the path that brought him to his most recent works, to be shown at this exhibition.
Philippe Pasqua was born in 1965 in Grasse. He lives and works in Paris. A painter and sculptor since the 1990s, he is now considered one of the most influential artists of his generation, and numerous authors, including Pierre Restany and Michel Waldberg, among others, have written important essays and publications about him. His works are featured in prestigious French and international collections and are regularly present in major public contemporary art auctions. Philippe Pasqua is regularly on exhibit in France and abroad through the workings of public and private cultural institutions. Two of his monumental sculptures were recently shown in Paris on the Champs-Élysées and in Venice during the last Contemporary Art Biennial.
