Jean-Baptiste Bernadet's Layered Abstraction in artpress Feature

publication · 2026-04-24

The French magazine artpress dedicates its May 2016 issue (n°433, pp. 50-52) to an introduction of artist Jean-Baptiste Bernadet. His serial paintings, arranged edge-to-edge and producing optical effects, evoke Monet's Water Lilies. However, Bernadet pursues distinct paths: deepening a detail or impression, exploring black, incorporating words into the canvas, and working in ceramics. The article notes his exhibitions at various venues.
