Born in 1957 in Boulogne-Billancourt in France, Pascal Bazile is a visual artist who lives and works in Paris and Saint Clar.
Drawing remains the backbone of Pascal Bazile's eclectic work, both pictorial and sculptural. Inspired by the industrial and railway worlds, he creates intense, freely rythmed artworks with structured forms.
Using restricted palettes, opaque inks and a radical stroke, Pascal Bazilé captures the atmospheres of places that sometimes exist only in our memories. The violence of a material or the graphic power of a composition convey an emotional force that stimulates the imagination.
His work, structured in suites rather than series, is created to the almost industrial rhythm of variations within repetition as it is based on interlacing, superpositions and other ways to feed the infinity of shapes and forms. While there may be a scenic dimension to Pascal Bazile's work, there is no narrative intent. The rigor and expressiveness of his strokes reflect his systematic quest for visual efficiency.
In his desire to draw what cannot be drawn, Pascal Bazilé is both an artist of reality and of memory, unfailingly attached to places, to what they become for us, and working to visually restore the emotions they have generated.
