The artist
Born in 1936 in Golfe-Juan, Martial Raysse, a pioneer of French Pop Art, creates images that transcend the banality of everyday life. Strongly influenced by advertising, he turns away from realistic art to reveal the underlying vitality of everyday objects and images. His thinking evolved throughout his career and took different forms: painting, neon, assemblage and video. A member of the New Realism movement in the early 1960s, Martial Raysse quickly gained recognition for his innovative art and represented France at the 1966 Venice Biennale. Questioning his interest in the pop world following the events of May 1968, he quickly turned away from ‘formal aestheticism’.
