From 17/08/2026 to 31/08/2026
© Exposition Mason Art
Paul Richard Mason is an Anglo-American artist who exhibits in Europe and the United States, and has a growing number of collectors who appreciate his varied work and his various art collections.
As a painter and sculptor (on wood and stone), he also creates unique decorative objects. He places great emotional value on color, and the black strokes that surround it draw faces and highlight silhouettes. In his portraits, flat tints of paint or fine lines suggest joy or melancholy. In his experiments, such as the portrait gallery, he uses black ink, eliminating all superfluity, and thus renders, through "a shower of vertical strokes", all the sensuality of faces and their most emotionally significant parts. The human figure (or the bodies in his paintings), then, strives to arouse confusion, not to distinguish the slightest explicit meaning, the better to leave the "visitor" free to his feelings.
In this way, Mason overturns the way we identify things, creating forms that are far removed from verisimilitude, but which convey emotions in their purest form, made up of the right colors, like channels of communication that he uses to come to us.
In his works, we sense vivid reminiscences of the cubism of Picasso and Braque, a colorist and narrative verve sometimes reminiscent of Robert Combas, and above all a sculptural monumentality of his models close to the primitive arts.
In his latest canvases, Mason gives way to more color, with the theme of feminine sensuality. A veritable hymn to women, his latest collection transports us into a universe where bodies comfort us. Her latest collection features resolutely contemporary works with a design and architectural style.
At this exhibition, you can discover this self-taught artist who will leave his mark on your sensibility, and you can find him exhibiting year-round in his art gallery opposite the church in Saint-Tropez.
