Paco Pomet’s “Celestial” is a compelling collection that showcases the artist’s unique fascination with celestial bodies, particularly the sun and moon. Through 29 paintings created between 2017 and 2022, Pomet explores satirical and absurdist themes, using these cosmic entities as metaphors for human experiences and societal issues.
His work delves into the cyclical nature of human pursuits and failures, reflecting on themes such as unchecked capitalism, environmental destruction, and moral quandaries. The sun and moon in Pomet’s paintings are not just celestial bodies but symbols that convey profound statements about time, space, duration, darkness, light, beginnings, and endings.
Their omnipresence in his work underscores the boundless power they have to evoke feelings and provoke thought. The monograph “Celestial” is a testament to Pomet’s enduring impulses and his ability to challenge viewers with profound symbolism and thought-provoking imagery.
