Biography:
ROBERT COMBAS
brought a new figurative style of painting to the forefront of the 1980s. Present on the art scene since 1979, he is the creator of a movement that Ben called "Free Figuration," a movement that brought together Rémi Blanchard, François Boisrond, Robert Combas, and Hervé Di Rosa.
Robert Combas grew up in Sète in a working-class, cosmopolitan environment influenced 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 blend of "popular culture" and "legitimate culture."
"Free Figuration," which in the 1980s 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, and cinema are all part of his work and allow him to develop his imagination in all media.
His life is painting, and his painting is life. Robert Combas bites into the world, chewing it up and spitting it out in pieces. In his parallel universe, people 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, embellishing or darkening it as he pleases, taking us on an incredible, colorful and musical adventure.
Many collectors and museums own his works.
