Nathalie du Pasquier
Nathalie du Pasquier (born 1957 in France) is a Milan-based artist and designer mostly known for her work as a founding member of the Memphis Group. Her early body of work includes furniture, textiles, clothing designs and jewelry in addition to iconic work in decoration and patterns. Since 1987, she has consistently dedicated herself to painting.
Over the past couple decades du Pasquier became fascinated with the imaging of two and three dimensional objects. For a long period of time she created still life paintings by reciprocating everyday objects. Later she built wooden structures representing objects with a real life eye for dimension and symmetry. Du Pasquier's art work consists of bold shapes and colors. Her paintings and figures represents a twist on abstract art. She is not in favor of using high tech graphics in her art. Most of her works is subsequently completed with a pencil and paper. Du Pasquier says strives to put “elements together that are interesting to paint.
Du Pasquier believes her exhibits exemplify a period of work that "Is a chain of thoughts that follow each other. It would be impossible not to connect the two, even if at a certain point I decided to become a painter."
