Pascal Magis

Biography

Pascal MAGIS was born the first April 1955 in Aurillac France, but spent his childhood in Meyrals, a village in Périgord Noir. He went to the College Saint Joseph in Sarlat. He left in 1971 to study at l'Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs of Limoges.

After five years of study he gained a solid foundation in art. His dislike for a particular conceptual painting of the time steered him towards tapestry. He gained his diploma National des Beaux Arts in 1976.

He held an exhibition with other artists in the gallery every summer. This was warmly received by the press and the public. These exhibitions were always of the highest quality and made the name and the work of Pascal Magis well known throughout the art world.

In 1977 he meets his future wife.

In 1988, suddenly colour flooded into his work which became increasingly abstract.

At this stage he returned to painting, his first love, and expressed himself in acrylics. What his last sketches revealed, his first paintings confirme : from now on he lives by instinct, colour and free expression.

In the last ten years, Pascal Magis has exhibited in France and many other countries. His renieuwed studio will welcome you every summer and on “rendez-vous” the rest of the year.
