LE BAISER Installation by Pascal Hanrion

Born in Paris in 1962, Pascal Hanrion works between France and Spain. He uses iconography documentary and news papers as basical's elements of it's work, composed by salvage objets, collages of articles and advertisements, paintings using street graffitis materials.

In Paris, he develops his work from conceptual visual art with a style borrowed from the surrealist movement of the twentieth century, "Art brut" and "Arte Povera".

In Spain, he produced numerous photo reports for popular celebrations and sports competitions, with an humanist style . He produced studio works around portraits, developing a photographic printing technique allowing the viewer to observe his own reflection in the image

Since 2014, he collaborates with many Syrian artists and photographers to raise awareness about the situation of civilians in combat zones in Syria; he created the facebook page "Walking to the Children of Syria" and produced several audiovisual montages.

The achievements of Pascal Hanrion often include representations of childhood and the expression of his inner world. From a technical point of view, it is irrelevant for him that an image or a plastic work is not perfect: life is not.
