PRESS RELEASE
Since 2001 Pascale and Michael have developed a unique collaborative style encompassing the worlds of animation and comics, illustration, painting and installation.
Pascales’s spontaneous and playful drawings spring from fantastic worlds and are complimented by the graphic, illustrative style of Michael’s work. Together they create imaginary playlands inhabited by wonderful creatures, magical flora and enchanted children.
Pascale and Michael’s long standing involvement with the Swiss comic and independent publishing scene has led to a number of limited-edition screen printed books such as Frau Kronenberg & ihre Katze, Meerestupfenpferde and a modern interpretation of the Indian folk legend Rama.
They have exhibited prolifically throughout Switzerland and Germany, gained commissions for the Lucerne Childrens Hospital and the Hotel Landhaus, Berlin and have most recently collaborated with Melbourne artists on the Foxtel - St Kilda Festival tram project, curated by Andy Mac for Citylights Projects.
“It was like two completely different, somewhat incompatible picture languages had collided when they started working together. But somehow they managed to create pictures, stories and installations together, without having to change their own individual styles or expressions in any way at all. The result is a unique aesthetic world whose quality lies in the harmonious confrontation of two totally different artists.” (Tschani Blog 2006)
