Cofounder, in the early 80s, of the <strong>design group Memphis<\/strong>, which she perfused with African influences, this naturalized Italian who was born in France, in 1957, has constantly reinvented herself and made audacity the guiding principle of her work, which has primarily been a question of painting. Before finding fame,<strong> Nathalie Du Pasquier<\/strong>, today aged 65, heroically traversed changing fashions and aesthetic tendencies with a constant goal: artistic freedom.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Nathalie du Pasquier : an artist thriving on&nbsp;pleasure and new adventures<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Her dazzling smile gets you first, then her deep-blue gaze. <em>\u201cI paint for pleasure,\u201d<\/em> she declares, <em>\u201cnot to get myself in the press,\u201d<\/em> immediately making clear her dislike of inter- views, which she usually avoids. She doesn\u2019t always show up to her openings either, not through false modesty or because she thinks she\u2019s a diva but simply because she doesn\u2019t enjoy them and, most likely, is bored. Indeed boredom, and the paths of conformism, were options she rejected very young: on leaving school at 18 she bade farewell to her art-historian mother and virologist father <em>(\u201cHe looked at things really close up in a microscope,\u201d<\/em> she says), as well as Bordeaux where she had grown up, and sailed to Gabon with a group of friends. <em>\u201cThat was when life began,\u201d <\/em>she recalls. <em>\u201cIt never turns out how you imagined it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>She also travelled to India and Australia, then lived briefly in Rome, before moving to Milan, in 1979, where she found work at the Salone du Mobile on a Tyrolean furniture stand. There, by chance, she ran into the designer Martine Bedin, who she\u2019d been at school with in Bordeaux, and another designer, Georges Sowden, who would become her romantic partner. Sowden had moved from his native England to work with <strong>Ettore Sottsass <\/strong>(1917\u20132007), a designer from another generation who, in 1981, launched a group that sought to upset the apple carts of Modernism and introduce fun, fantasy and colour to Italian furniture design.<\/p>\r\n\n                    <figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a30b27dca4b6&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a30b27dca4b6\" class=\"wp-block-image size-medium-large wp-lightbox-container\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/nathalie-du-pasquier-groupe-memphis-peinture-ettore-sottsass-320copie-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1568\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>\n                    <figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nathalie Du Pasquier, \u201cUntitled\u201d (2019).

The implacable impact of her motifs can clearly be seen in the show of 1980s work currently on view at Paris\u2019s Mus\u00e9e des Arts d\u00e9coratifs (until 16 April).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the mid-80s, doubting she was destined for design (<em>\u201cI hadn\u2019t chosen design and let myself get dragged into it. I was annoyed by the character I\u2019d been turned into, the pretty French Memphis girl\u201d<\/em>), she turned to painting after <strong>Memphis <\/strong>fell apart, in 1987. Little by little she invented the forms of her future oeuvre, painting still lifes of everyday objects she found in her studio.<em> \u201cI painted things that were extremely quotidian. What interested me were the relationships between things. I created \u2018territories\u2019 on table tops, in a way that has something to do with architecture.\u201d <\/em>While her compositions bear the meticulous trace of Giorgio Morandi, her colours clearly come from elsewhere. In \u201cMy Influences,\u201d published in September 2015, she lists her sources:<em> \u201cPersian miniatures, Ingres, Giotto, Piero della Francesca, Indian temples, S\u00e1nchez Cot\u00e1n, Sottsass, El Lissitzky, Morandi, Giorgio de Chirico and Savinio, French medieval miniatures, Le Corbusier, the form of flowers, the colours of exotic fish, the beauty of the animal world, Japanese prints, Tintin and Milou, and,\u201d<\/em> she immediately adds, <em>\u201cmany other things.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>The artist&#8217;s understated&nbsp;beginnings into painting<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Her <strong>painting <\/strong>made no impact in either Italy or France.<em> \u201cNo one in the art world was interested in me, and the art world didn\u2019t particularly interest me either,\u201d<\/em> she recalls, which is no doubt what allowed her to develop her work in her own time, within a space of tranquility and concentration. She was helped by a Hong Kong dealer who, seduced by her paintings in the late 80s, sold them far from the chatter of Paris and Milan. \u201c<em>At the time, Hong Kong was distinctly unfashionable, and his only clients were rich Chinese who appreciated painting for traditional reasons. Hong Kong is a noisy commercial city; people liked the quiet they found in my pictures. One client who bought a lot of my work had taken advice from a feng shui expert.

Like design objects, but freed from function and use, these creations become pure form, all surface and density. The paintings they engender are at once abstract and figurative, since they are still lifes of strange, unfamiliar objects whose only function is to be represented. Nonetheless, a<strong> painting<\/strong> is never just what it represents, and <strong>Du Pasquier<\/strong>\u2019s work has that something extra which can\u2019t be explained and which ends up obsessing the viewer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Nathalie Du Pasquier&#8217;s&nbsp;retrospective at Vienna&#8217;s&nbsp;Kunsthalle: a worldwide recognition<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>\u201cThat show changed my life,\u201d <\/em>she says of the retrospective that Italian curator Luca Lo Pinto offered her at <strong>Vienna\u2019s Kunsthalle<\/strong> in 2016. Over 100 works, from the<strong> Memphis period <\/strong>to the present day, were brought together, showcasing the fantastic inventiveness and coherence of her oeuvre. The exhibition also seemed to be the departure point for an extraordinary science of staging and mise en sc\u00e8ne, this time applied to the show itself, which today has become the defining characteristic of her work. <em>\u201cI always think about the relationships between things, which for me are much more important than showcasing a single object,\u201d<\/em> she explains, perfectly encapsulating the sensation one takes away from her exhibitions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sometimes she builds small cabins, painted like geometric pictures, and is a master at organizing space, both two-dimensional \u2013 the walls, which she decorates with motifs \u2013 and the three dimensions in which the gallery-goer moves about. Indeed these staged environments are not just a question of highlighting the relationship between objects but are also about creating <em>\u201cmoments,\u201d<\/em> complex situations for which there is no instruction booklet. They clearly go against the habits of consumer society and are experiences that durably mark the viewer, their freedom reverberating in the memory for a long while after.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The<strong> Vienna <\/strong>show, which afterwards travelled to Philadelphia\u2019s Institute of Contemporary Art, garnered interest from big commercial galleries all over the world, bringing <strong>Du Pasquier<\/strong>\u2019s oeuvre, which she had developed away from the limelight, a visibility and an \u00e9clat it had hitherto been denied. The artist, who never expected as much, is both delighted and amused. <em>\u201cIt\u2019s fabulous to be discovered like that at 60.
