Victor Pasmore — Reason and Impulse
Victor Pasmore

Reason and Impulse

1996

A pioneering figure of British abstract art, Victor Pasmore explores the dynamic tension between rational thought and spontaneous feeling in this mixed-media work. Layers of oil, spray paint, and charcoal on board create a compelling interplay of controlled geometric forms and gestural, expressive marks. The combination of mediums reflects Pasmore's lifelong investigation into the underlying forces that shape both art and human experience.
