Robert Combas et Alain Turpault
An essential artist of contemporary art, Robert Combas is considered the leader of the "Free Figuration". Movement so called by the artist Ben, when he invited him to exhibit in his gallery in Nice in 1981. This designation reflects a rejection of "intellectual" art and particularly minimalist, and seeks to highlight a figurative and popular painting, inspired by comics and rock culture. Since the 1980s, the artist has developed a protean work that defies categorization. As soon as he entered the Beaux-Arts, Robert Combas brought a completely new aesthetic, taking the opposite side of conceptual art, which dominated the French artistic production at that time. He thus opens the ways of a possible return to the figurative art. From the 1990s, he tackled themes of spirituality and esotericism, in an aesthetic that has often been compared to American graffiti artists and German neo-expressionists. His perpetual capacity for innovation translates into eminently satyric works where the grotesque bows. The varied scenes that the artist paints using "curtains of paint", upset the hierarchies and conventions of art history.
