Masoure is deeply influenced by the abstract expressionist movement from the 50’s and 60’s and by his father who was also a painter. His paintings juxtapose luxurious colours with loose gestures. His paintings reflect a journey both spiritually and physically. Masoure’s process involves an intuitive approach while each application of colour becomes a self-discovery. Through reduction and layering, the lines and form emerges while they also disappear into obscurity.

The title for the show was inspired by Sylvian and Sakamoto’s “Forbidden Colours”. “When I hear that song, it inspires an emotional state that I feel when I’m painting”. Masoure
