Laurent Pascal is a contemporary French artist and teacher of visual arts, known for his ability to modulate shapes and colors to create immersive, separate universes in his works. Each piece he creates is a self-contained world, a universe born from his artistic vision, as though observed through a microscope.
Pascal plays with a variety of artistic genres, including abstraction, surrealism, Op art, and Pop art, blending them into compositions that offer a multiple vibration—sumptuous labyrinths designed to captivate the viewer’s gaze. While he often uses kaleidoscopic patterns, he transcends mathematical precision to imbue his works with an organic vitality, creating shapes, materials, and lighting effects that breathe life into the art.
The viewer’s experience of Pascal’s work changes depending on their distance from the piece. From a distance, one can appreciate the overall structure and lighting effects, while up close, the viewer can explore intricate networks of shapes and textures, some of which may evoke a photographic quality.
In a world where media often convey fear and doubt, Laurent Pascal’s works stand as an expression of optimism, offering a promise of joy for those who seek happiness as a treasure of humanity.
