Bernard Frize was born in France in 1949. He is an unconventional painter, and he uses different objects to paint with, and his work is very industrial based. Bernard Frize explains that his paintings are more about the process than the actual paintings themselves. Bernard Frize often gets others to help him with his paintings. In one recent piece involved a team of Frize's assistants moving their linked brushes across a wet white ground. They acted as though they were dancing around a may-pole and the colors mixed in a circle around the floor, and formed weaving round bands. Frize's work is truly different and original, something that no one else seemed interested in which was the act of painting itself. Each of Bernard Frize's painting is elaborate and made with a sort of choreographed performance for each piece, involving his direction and his assistance and other painters, and odd tools to paint with. Although Bernard Frize's paintings are focused around the acts of painting and the results, they do showcase colors, light and reflected light, and they are breath taking and beautiful. (Artist website) Read Less
