Pascal CHEVALIER

Criticism

It is a real pleasure to note that Pascal Chevalier, in parallel to his profession as an engineer, was able to follow his artistic path without interruption thanks to a youthful and assiduous passion for the fine arts, which was passed on to him by his art appreciative family. Among the skills he acquired in his youth, Pascal Chevalier has been able to preserve that which today allows him to fully devote himself to his art with enjoyment and true success. With remarkable confidence, this figurative painter is completely at ease portraying all his youthful hopes, desires and emotions in large formats. And this he does thanks to a palette of beautiful and bright colours, which are in unison with motifs to which he transfers authenticity, pleasure and enthusiasm. It is a real pleasure contemplating Pascal Chevalier’s paintings, which are direct, sometimes peaceful, yet always frank in their composition. The artist creates very fine nudes, the sensuality of which mingles with the presence of savourous fruits. Bull-fighting scenes are captured with power and elegance, while surging waves unfurl into supple colourful curls, and visions translate the poetic quality of an evocative and radiant dream world.
