About the Item
AYN GALLERY propose a curated collection of unique objects like this exceptional and a unique table from the artist Philippe Pasqua.
Pasqua is one of the most important French contemporary artists of his generation: influenced by major artists such as Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon, this self-taught artist has been exhibiting his paintings, drawings and sculptures worldwide.
This unique piece 1/1 is made of bronze and glass. The base of the table is composed of vanities in black patina bronze, steel and black tinted glass top. The top is 4 cm thick and 250 cm long x 195 cm deep x 75 cm high to the glass top, the bar that crosses the skull is 140 cm high from the top to the ground.
Among Pasqua's masterpieces are the vanities, often made in bronze, for which he is also famous. He explores the theme of the vanities as a symbol of the soul in ancient Egypt.
Through his extraordinary career, the French artist Philippe Pasqua has established himself as one of the major artists of his generation. His taste for the monumental is opposed to his attraction to the most vulnerable and profound. For the past few years, the artist has also frequently traveled to Carrara, where he sculpts skulls weighing several tons that are like massive stars emitting telluric energy. At the foundry, he makes large bronze casts that are then immersed in chrome baths. The skulls that emerge - human or animal - become like mirrors: sometimes we see only their blinding reflection, sometimes they disappear to let emerge what they reflect. And as we approach them, it is inevitably our own image that we see.
Pasqua's immense sculptures have graced the streets of Paris, and have been exhibited at the 53rd Venice Biennale, in Moscow, Germany, Beijing, Monaco, Israel and the United States.
Today, Philippe Pasqua is considered one of the most important sculptors and painters working in France, and his works collect significant sums at auctions.
Pasqua has exhibited in several museums and has been highly regarded, including his retrospective at the Ahlers Foundation- Hanover, Germany) "Painting and Drawing" at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art , Zemack Gallery -Israël and the monumental exhibition "Boarderline" at the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco.

Philippe Pasqua
Philippe Pasqua has emerged as one of the major artists of his generation. His taste for the monumental is opposed to the attraction he has for what is most vulnerable and deep. For several years, Pasqua has also been going to Carrara frequently, where he sculpts skulls weighing several tons that are like massive stars radiating telluric energy. At the foundry, he produces large bronze casts that are then plunged into baths of chrome. Pasqua’s huge sculptures have embellished the streets of Paris and were exhibited at the 53rd Venice Biennale, in Moscow, Germany, Beijing, Monaco, Israel, and the United States. His latest exhibition in September 2017, extended until January 2018, was a great success. Today, Philippe Pasqua is considered one of the most important sculptors and painters working in France, and his works collect large sums in auctions. Pasqua has exhibited in several museums to great acclaim, including his retrospective at Ahlers Foundation (Hanover, Germany, 2010), “Painting and Drawing” at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art (June 2010), and the monumental show “Borderline” at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco (2017).

Sculpture limited Edition "The Cannon Dancer" Robert Combas French Sculptor
By Robert Combas
Located in Paris, FR
The art market confirms that Robert Combas is the most successful living French artist with Pierre Soulages.
During the last two years, the value of his works has multiplied by 5 , proof with the last Artcurial auction sale from December 4th 2019.
This sculpture "The Cannon Dancer" is one of the most interesting of his major works from the 90s where he touched on themes dear to him like: battles, war, religion, love, sex, women, mythology, music, genre scenes...
- "Le danseur au canon", The Cannon Dancer Painted polychrome resin sculpture. This is a limited édition signed Combas, dated 95 and numbered 4/8 on the base.
- Is it a carnival ? a character, a buffoon representing power by a cannon exhibited as a phallic object that symbolizes power.
"The moment when the official hierarchies collapse, where the powerful become ridiculous and the fools the only wise respected. The moment of inversions, negations, derision and extravagance.
Abel and Cain, Salome and Saint John the Baptist : whatever the time and the weapons, it is almost always the same story", said Combas.
Robert Combas love to Deforms when, allowing itself disproportions, exaggerations and deletions, it gives birth to creatures with noses, lips or feet disproportionately inflated or stretched, even monstrous and comic. In this case, Combas flirts with satire, farce, the grotesque.
Make love better than a war !
Robert COMBAS has been pursuing a unique approach since the 1980s. His eccentric and powerful representations of the world make this genius one of the emblematic figures of French contemporary art.
The artist's work is now the subject of numerous retrospectives and institutional exhibitions. The enthusiasm of collectors becomes more important with each new public sale and its rating climbs which confirms the sustainable nature of the art of Robert COMBAS.
He brought at the dawn of the 80s a new figurative painting. Present on the artistic scene since 1979 he is the creator of a movement that the artist Ben called the Free Figuration, movement comprising: Rémi...
