IRVIN PASCAL
b. 1987, United KingdomIrvin Pascal’s (b.1987, London, UK) work centers on identity, diaspora, and imbued meaning, with equally brutal and inviting imagery. Taking formal cues from luminaries like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Julian Schnabel, Pascal aggressively creates his own visual language by combining dark hues with powerful, confident gestures. Pascal stealthily and gracefully fabricates his paintings and sculptures from a wide range of transmuted materials. His works are as much three-dimensional records of performance as they are staggeringly elegant, raw, and beautiful.
