Living in Val-David, Pascal draws inspiration from a reconciliation with nature, seeking to convey a sense of coherence and unity with the living world through his works. ARTIST STATEMENT Pascal Champagne makes the invisible tangible. Working primarily with wood and paint, his sculpted wall pieces capture a rhythmic energy that celebrates unity in duality and revives our instinctive bond with the wild world. Fascinated by metaphysics, he creates compositions in motion that evoke a sense of evolution and impermanence, where inner signals synchronize with the real for fluid coherence. His bas-relief sculptures reveal symphonic landscapes where abstraction enables dialogue between the nature within us and that which surrounds us. They seize fragments of the everyday to suggest open narratives, questioning the matter itself and the subjectivity of human experience influenced by the depths of the unconscious. Above all, Champagne seeks to share the most optimistic facets of his inner essence, delivering works that uplift and inspire well-being.
