jean-claude bertrand develops a form of contemporary painting in which color, material, and gesture express deep sensory experiences rather than figurative subjects.
“for me, painting is a commitment; authenticity is essential.”
Trained at the nancy school of fine arts, his background in graphic design and communication has given him a strong visual rigor. in the late 1990s, he returned to painting out of an inner necessity.
Between jazz and sensory memory
Influenced by jazz, he builds his work around improvisation, rhythm, and breathing. he explores the five senses — music, perfumes, wines, landscapes — translating their intensity into painting.
His new horizons series presents abstract, inner landscapes composed of layers of color and emotion.
