Pascal Deckarm was raised in West Germany in the 1970s, and the images of his childhood have had a large influence on his work as an adult. He creates images with unsaturated colours and simple geometric shapes that display the washed-out aesthetic of that age, both vintage and futuristic at the same time. Deckarm is self-taught, having studied Scandinavian Studies at university, and he cites Iceland’s rough and barren landscapes as major influences.
