Jamie Ellis Pasquale [He/Him] (B: 1988). Is a Multidisciplinary Artist who recognized for his exploratory investigations into thoughts of ancestral memory,The Urbanized Environment, Cultural Histories, Folkloric Wisdom and Storytelling in African and Afro-indigenous Spirituality expressed through themes that welcome conversation on key environmental issues such as Ecology, Urbanism and the affect and effect(s) of Growth/Decline and the role that plays in the development of our world and Global Mega Cities in the current age of our epoch. Harmoniously producing an oeuvre that is centred around themes of culture, mastery of abstract representational and traditional figurative forms displayed by influences shown through the works of Kerry James Marshall, The Group of Seven and also, artwork of The High Renaissance period. Art that reflects an essence that is sincere to his observations of nature and the contemporary world today. Pasquale first arrived at his artistic practice through his Landscape studies at the University of Greenwich, while also citing major influence from his studies conducted into the work of The Harvard School of Graduate Designs research whose publications have been a deep source of inspiration into his own thought processes, particularly in the negotiation of the worlds geo-political climate. Pasquale has travelled extensively throughout Europe, the Americas and parts of Asia studying various world cities and their urban plans, also, how urban design can have long lasting effects on its inhabitants and countries as a whole. Using the sites of San Francisco, Vancouver, The Rocky Mountains, Toronto, Montreal, London and Singapore as place inclusive of his research he invites comment on how we as residents of a global community interact with own own personalised habitats while questioning our interactions in an idealised urbanised landscape while conducting inquiry on how we can create better usage of space for all our present and future generations. His practice encompasses Fine Art Painting achieved through the practice of representational, figurative and expressionistic abstracted forms. Also using oil, acrylic and gouache to accomplish traditional and mixed media works he makes use of Photography, Film, Sculpture, Printmaking, Music and Publishing, while his memorable installations are often both contemporary and uniquely refreshing.
