Event Description : 
Habitat Photosphere hosts a photography show by French artist Pascal Monteil.


As part of Habitat Photosphere’s aim of taking art photography into public spaces. Monteil’s works are done using a particular technique called digital painting. “Each of my work is done minutely with thousands of photographic elements either designed or painted; they are adjusted, superimposed, revised and lit-up on computer. Thanks to digital technique, using these fragments just as a painter would do with his colors and paintbrushes; I wish to achieve pictures with a photographic depiction combined with the very special power of painting to sublime the real and its emotional precision.”

Monteil’s work is an exploration and a re-interpretation of Persian and Indian miniature traditions.The exhibition at Jor Bagh metro station will consist of three works displayed on the backlit panels along with explanatory panels.
Says Dr Alka Pande, curator and art consultant, Visual Arts Gallery, IHC: “Pascal Monteil is an artist of the world.  An  international  cosmopolitanism,  bordering  on  the  exotic  and  the  unknown,  characterize  his  suite  of  ‘paintings’. An  artist  who  combines the  traditional  art of  painting  with   contemporary  digital  photography makes compelling  landscapes  which  cross  boundaries  of  geographies  and  cultures. These  phantasmagorical  imagined  landscapes  emerge  from  his  lived experiences  and  his  training  as  a painter. A  peripatetic  traveler,  his  paintings  are replete  with  historical  and  cultural  references. An  incredible  storyteller,  Pascal  is  a  bard,  who  through  his  lyrical  renditions  tells  stories  about  his  travels,  which  he  takes  from  time  to  time.  From the city of love, philosophy and artistic effulgence Paris,  he  travels  to  India,  to  Persia  to  Japan,  reading  the  landscapes  of  these  ancient  civilizations,  creating  arresting  juxtapositions  on  the  canvas.”

Pascal Monteil (b. 1968 in Nîmes, France) is a visual artist who lives and works between Paris and various cities in Asia. He graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts de Nice (Villa Arson).
