Exhibition from 5 May to 30 September 2017

. The Oceanographic Museum of Monaco presents the Borderlineof the artist Philippe Pasqua monographic exhibition. His monumental works, for the most tailored, will rub shoulders with the legendary collections of the place to create a new dialogue.

The art of Philippe Pasqua experimenting the limit. He flirts with the edges, is near the terminals and is free. Lewd and violent, his work hustles as much as it fascinates, placing the visitor a dilemma: devour eyes or look the other way, reflex of defense more than indifference. 'Philippe Pasqua questions, challenges, mind, but never not indifferent. " The detonator ideal to create an awareness for marine and terrestrial life" , refers to Robert Calcagno, Executive Director of the Oceanographic Museum.

Charmed by the architecture of the Museum Oceanographic and sensitive to its commitment, the artist proposes an exhibition in his image, sincere and plural. Twelve monumental works, including seven new achievements, invest the places in their totality - of the square at the panoramic terrace, through the rock cliff, the century-old building below.

SHOVING the man in his RELATION to NATURE
At Philippe Pasqua, the taste of the monumental opposes his attraction to what there is more vulnerable and deep. The flaws and cracks are exposed in size XXL. Instinctive, the artist don't theorizes his works and let visitors discretion to interpret them, believing that art goes beyond the rhetoric and the Visual. " The beautiful, it is the evocative power ", he says. The work is beautiful by the emotion it produces, so she wears in the heart.

The artist expresses here all his sensitivity and questions the public on his relationship to nature, death and rebirth. 'From these subjects, he plays with the ambiguous relationship that the man maintains with the marine world, between fear and fascination, to confront the public on current issues of protection of biodiversity' , complete Robert Calcagno.

Part of the DNA of the Museum since its creation, these environmental issues are found in these achievements.
