Ivan Messac (1948)

For the past four decades, art historians have associated him to the “Figuration narrative” movement. But writer and critic Gérard-Georges Lemaire still prefers to see him “as a child of pop art”. In other words, an artist deeply rooted in the culture of his time. An artist who observ and bears witness… In fact, Ivan Messac, painter and sculptor, born in Caen in 1948 and exhibiting since 1967, has always defined himself as a committed creator. He multiplied his struggles and his resounding canvases. He also represented sport, boxing and cycling, two passions of his.
