Nicolas Bernière
After graduating from the College of Arts and Industries Graphics Estienne in Paris, engraving intaglio, he attended the painter Philippe Lejeune at the Ecole d'Etampes. Meanwhile, it is student Debort morphology and fountain of life, to ENSBA in Paris .
Specializing in classical and contemporary Western painting, he completed his training by a cycle of Art History at the Ecole du Louvre. His pictorial work was born polymorphic, its early visits to museums, her bulimia images traveler and his childhood wandering the roots.
Privileged to witness the multitude of cultures, the contrast of art forms and expressions, it develops around themes , series of varied styles and techniques.
Its themes ( the biosphere, nature, humans) questioning the paint on the living forms and energies . This approach by the figurative sensitive leaves its place to the pictorial surfaces and materials , sometimes flush with the third dimension . using clean energy in materials, its plastic expression. The humanity of the chair painting.
Born in 1970 in France , he exhibits and works between Paris and Bern in Switzerland.
Series: The Art'histos
This series was born from my first pictorial emotions and the desire to find my first impressions .
Plunging into the paintings that I admired as a child; portraits of Greco , Rubens, Clouet, Velazquez , Goya, Van Dyck, Hyacinthe Rigaud, Picasso.
I started by re-creating these historical figures from raw material drawn from the elements of nature, textures, stone, ivy, mossy woods.
Then I switched to simple shapes ,objects, volumes. Drawing and ephemeral installation, structures of heterogeneous objects by accumulating balance became aristocratic characters .
The 'queens are coming' coffee collage I did with my son. Of the characters head funny coffee, the result being so relevant I used these collages as a working basis .
So I painted these kings and queens faces (in-expressive ) Nespresso and the geometric bodies composed of bizarre objects , distortion of historical references that I love. Enjoyment of video games , for example, the color 'orange funds' , is a nod to the royal family of the same name ... a child's play !
This impromptu association as a set of tableaus is rather Surreal, humorous and bright with a thousand facets.
