Robert Combas is a French artist known for having founded the free figuration movement, aesthetically close to neo-expressionism in the United States, as a counterweight to minimalist and conceptual art alongside Rémy Blanchard, François Boisrond and Hervé Di Rosa at the end of the 1970s. Combas developed his figurative style by drawing inspiration from popular culture, graffiti, comics and street art. Its mix of raw lines and bold colors reference outsider art and the CoBrA movement, and resemble the pop graphic style of Keith Haring. Born May 25, 1957 in Lyon, Combas studied art as a child then enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts in Montpellier in 1975. He lived and worked in Paris and continued to create his own style which provided commentary visuals on contemporary society and its superficiality.
