Pablo Tomek: Sortie de route

Originating in graffiti, which he practices experimentally and illegally with his group PAL, the French artist is surrounded in a aura of mystery. His first experiences with art took place outside of art academies and in the street as a self-taught graffiti artist. 

In the studio, the artist takes his practice further: he examines the bonds between the heritage of graffiti and abstract expressionistic painting, while also misappropriating the techniques and aesthetics of manual work with a thought provoking and poignant practice which includes painting, murals, experimental publications and installations.
