Pascual Tarazona's evocative gestural works are justified by the questions they evoke about life and its memories and absurdities. His large black Romantic works occupies a space where myth, emotion, bold patterning and the artist’s ordering of the universe intermingle. The artist sets up a dialogue between disciplines by mixing expressive drawing with painting and photography. The end result is a multitude of layers of progression derived from different artistic processes. Born in Paiporta Valencia Spain, Tarazona has lived in Madrid, Paris, London and Johannesburg. In Madrid he studied theatre, cinema and fashion and in Paris and in London he worked in fashion where he also attended St Martin’s school of Art. In 1975 Pascual moved to Johannesburg, South Africa, where he excelled as a fashion designer, winning the Coty Designer of the year award in 1981 and in 1983 he won the Coty Avant Garde award.
