The edition

As its Italian title indicates, this edition is the second chapter of a project originally conceived for Keijiban in 2023. Is it a sequel or a reprise? The use of an identical blue background, allowing for a material juxtaposition of the two versions, also brings to mind the notion of visual shiritori, the Japanese exquisite corpse. Certain colors, textures, and motifs present in the first edition are found here as well, but in new configurations, associated with new elements. Architectural constructions, drawn on a black background, further accentuate the mix of flatness and depth typical of bas-reliefs. Distributed throughout the composition, they also seem to participate in a frieze-like narrative, while retaining their unfathomable nature as objects, as in a still life. It is probably in this constant, flickering back and forth between dimensions, media, and temporalities that the essence of Nathalie Du Pasquier’s work lies.

Nathalie Du Pasquier was born in 1957 in Bordeaux, France. She now lives in Milan, Italy.

Nathalie Du Pasquier was a founder of the Memphis Group, an Italian design and architecture group within which she worked until 1986, producing “decorated surfaces”: textiles, carpets, plastic laminates, and some furniture and objects.

In 1987, she devoted herself to painting, initiating what has become a long-lasting exploration of the potentialities as well as the borders of this medium. In an energetic dialogue with genres and movements of the past (Quattrocento, still life, Metaphysical painting, and geometric abstraction, among others), Nathalie Du Pasquier has created a distinctive universe made of recurring themes and insistent motifs, where forms constantly navigate between the representational and the non-representational, between the second, the third and the fourth (temporal) dimension. Her paintings often exist as objects or installations, blurring the distinctions between the work and its mode of display.

Her work is represented by Pace Gallery (New York, London, Seoul, etc.), Galerie Greta Meert (Brussels), Apalazzio Gallery (Brescia), Yvon Lambert (Paris), and Anton Kern Gallery (New York).
