Before the Guests Arrive captures a table just before a celebration begins. Cakes, pastries, serving stands and colourful chairs fill the composition, while strings of bunting cross the room above. No people are present, yet their arrival feels imminent. The drawing focuses on a recurring subject in Alex Pascual's earlier work: ordinary domestic environments and the traces of human activity within them. Line, flattened perspective and areas of bright colour transform a familiar interior into a highly personal and slightly unstable space.
