Pascale Taurua | Exhibition

I visited Pascale Taura's work at Castle Fine Art and I was absolutely blown away with her work. She approaches figurative painting making her work universal. Inspired by fashion, a feminine universe. She is attracted to showing work how one expresses themselves using such things as clothes. The clothing in her paintings are just as important as the person in her paintings. I see Taurua's work as a way of showing culture and representation, expressing individuality. Pascale Taurua commented herself saying how there is relationship there between owner and the clothing piece and how different clothing items can inflict a certain feeling. I can not help but gather there is something deeper to he work however. I believe she paints beauty and emotions in a way that can not be described. My theory is backed up with her answered question from Saatchi Art. "It’s difficult to express through words things that are so beautiful that they have no words. I can’t explain it. I have to paint it."

Her work has had no particular influence on my practise I just simply think her work is breathtakingly beautiful and captivating. It is nice to see realism and figurative work being brought into the contemporary art scene. It has inspired me to go back to old painting techniques as I do believe it is important to sometimes revisit the past and where your work has extended from.
