Pascal Chove, 1963

Nato a Parigi, Pascal Chove ha studiato presso la scuola d'arte applicata Ecole des Arts Appliques Duperre di Parigi.

Fino al 1986, ha dipinto numerosi murales a Parigi e nel resto della Francia; in seguito a questo periodo decise di concentrarsi esclusivamente sulla pittura da cavalletto.

Preferisce lavorare con il legno perchè non ama dipingere su tela, la trova troppo morbida ed inadatta per il suo stile, le sue opere devono essere graffiate e raschiate.

Dipinge i suoi quadri con la resina su cui aggiunge vari materiali come cartone, reti o tessuti. Si possono vedere diversi piani sovrapposti supportati dall’uso elaborato della luce.
