France
Biography
Jean-Pascal Clauss is a self-taught French painter who lives and works in Strasbourg.
His paintings are composed of animal figures punctuated with symbols or puzzles such as playing cards, pendulums or other clock dials, emphasizing the character of the subjects and not simply on their physical aspects or their movements. By replacing the natural environment with a black background and blurring the colors of the animal's dress, he deliberately eliminates any context to exacerbate the visual sensitivity. Characterized by the obsessive realism of the image, the pictorial hyper precision contrasts with the enigmatic dimension of the content. However, this figuration reveals an ironic and distant tone about the meaning of life. This new approach to animal creatures offers to preserve this same pictorial look in reality, salutary and not more destructive.
His works are popular in galleries.
