Biography:
ROBERT COMBAS
brought a new figurative painting at the dawn of the 80s. Present on the artistic scene since 1979, he is the creator of a movement that Ben called "LA FIGURATION LIBRE", a movement bringing together: Rémi Blanchard, François Boisrond, Robert Combas and Hervé Di Rosa.
Robert Combas grew up in Sète in a popular, cosmopolitan environment marked by communist thought. He studied Fine Arts in Montpellier from 1974 to 1979. This first change of cultural environment imbued his artistic approach with a clever mix of "popular culture" and "legitimate culture".
"Free Figuration" which in the 80s desacralized art and claimed for painting what the punk movement claimed for music: everyone can be an artist. Street art against the establishment.
Continuing this provocative attitude in his personal work, he confronts all artistic challenges: painting, sculpture, music, cinema are part of his work and allow him to develop his imagination on all media. His life is painting and his painting is life, Robert Combas bites into the world, he chews it up and spits it out in crumbs.
In his parallel universe we kill each other but do not die, love and sex rub shoulders with war and violence. Robert Combas, exorcises the dramas of history by interpreting them with his poetic and humorous writing, he deciphers the world, embellishes it or darkens it as he pleases, he takes us on an incredible colorful and musical adventure. Many collectors and museums own his works.
