François Bard - Propagande du réel

Influenced by both the great tradition of seventeenth-century Spanish painting and contemporary cinema, he combines a remarkable ability to capture the play of deep shadows with a preference for tight framing.

With their imposing scale, his paintings sanctify the ordinary and play on rich textures, dense and deconstructed in the manner of frescoes. Created over the past fifteen years, these paintings offer an opportunity to explore the heart of François Bard’s unique vision and aesthetic.
