In the early eighties, Robert Combas came up with a new figurative painting. Since 1979 he has been present on the art scene. He created the “Figuration Libre” movement, as Ben Vautier named it, which brought together Rémi Blanchard, François Boisrond, Robert Combas and Hervé Di Rosa.
This art form inspired by freedom depicts society, violence, sexuality, people’s sufferings and little pleasures, their small mindedness, their great mindedness…
Its inspiration derives from rock culture, popular images, childhood books, school textbooks, and everything that makes a popular culture accessible to everyone.
