Irvin 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.
