Pascale Pollier co-curator Fabrica Vitae
Pascale’s work attempts to capture the point where art and science meld. An alchemist at heart, her work begins with observation and experimentation, and is steeped in solid scientific research and findings.
Her inspiration is drawn from observing the internal and external human body in all its diversity, life and nature in all its beauty, strength, fragility, disease, mortality, immortality and death. New technologies and philosophies, quantum physics, nanotechnology, animatronics are amongst her interest and are important in her work.
A Belgian National, Pascale studied fine art and Painting in St Lucas art school in Ghent, Belgium, before subsequent postgraduate training with the Medical Artists Association, London UK. Till May 2015 she was president and is co-founder of BIOMAB (Biological and Medical Art in Belgium) In 2010 With Biomab she was curating and organising exhibitions, dissection drawing classes, collaborative art/science projects, symposiums and conferences. In May 2015 the non profit organisation ARSIC “Art Researches Science International Collaborations was founded. An international collective where Art and Science become entangled. This interdisciplinary association unites artists, scientists and those with a passion for the synergy between Art and Science, Technology and Philosophy.
ARSIC pursues several goals. Organising and curating SciArt exhibitions, such as Fabrica Vitae, conferences and collaborative projects, supporting the publication of articles, books and films.
It provides the opportunity for artists and medical artists to visit labs and dissection rooms.
Pascale was an external examiner for the medical art course at The Centre for Anatomy & Human Identification, University of Dundee, and is President of AEIMS (Association Europeenes des Illustrateurs Medicaux et Scientifiques). Pascale currently lives and works in London as a self-employed artist.
