Sacha Cambier de Montravel

Sacha Cambier de Montravel, who graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2022, deploys his pictorial universe around the question of violence and eroticism, urges and passions.

Bending the rules of primitive Italian and Flemish painting, he recreates his own garden of delights. In an urbanized landscape, a myriad of characters come to life in the glow of streetlamps. Some of them heave, some others relieve themselves, the artist using his work as an outlet to purge his fantasies and rebel against society facts.

The young Belgian artist plays with references, flirting with blasphemy by forcing the viewer into the position of voyeur. With a certain cynicism, the non-politically correct invites itself into the religious register, using with irony the supports and techniques favored for ancient altarpieces.
