20160425-214602-2.jpg Painting by Pol Chagasse

POLCHAGASSE was born in Lorraine in 1968 where he still lives in the suburbs of Nancy.
Head of a small industrial company, he has been practicing painting as an amateur for (x) years, having never attended any art school, he is a pure autodidact.

His artistic activity originally conceived as an escape from everyday life quickly became a demanding and sophisticated "Violon d'Ingres".
POLCHAGASSE works mainly on square canvases of 800x800 format using acrylic paints and inks, Indian ink, Epoxy resins and inclusions of gold and silver leaf.
His work is characterized above all by a great research on colors, transparencies, shadows, obtained thanks to the application of several layers of different resins applied between each motif of his drawing, a technique that he developed thanks to his studies in this field. domain.

POLCHAGASSE's works are figurative, inspired by Pop-Art and Street-Art and his themes always humorously divert the icons of Pop-culture, cinema, music, the political world, such as, among others, Steve McQueen, Iggy Pop, Che Guevara or an astonishing post-Covid Mona Lisa.
POLCHAGASSE humbly claims as influences of his work the painters John One, Andy Warhol, Banksy or Basquiat.
