Bernard Frize

Original Signed Artworks & Limited Edition Prints For Sale

Bernard Frize (b. 1949 France) is a French painter known for his exploration of the process of painting itself, often emphasizing the mechanics of creation over traditional notions of expression or narrative. Frize’s work is characterized by its systematic approach, where he employs a variety of techniques and materials to create abstract compositions that are both methodical and vibrant.
 
« I need to do the mundane tasks, the stretching of the canvas,
washing the brushes. »

Bernard Frize
His paintings often involve repetitive gestures, the use of unconventional tools, or the delegation of part of the creative process to others, thus questioning the role of the artist in the production of art.

« I only painted on Sundays – I was a true Sunday painter – and I wanted, no, needed, it to come from work. »
Bernard Frize

Frize’s works challenge the boundaries between chance and control, minimalism and complexity, often resulting in canvases that are visually striking yet conceptually rigorous. His contributions to contemporary art have been widely recognized, and his work continues to be exhibited internationally, making him a significant figure in the ongoing dialogue about the nature and purpose of painting. (Artist website) Read More

What is Gestural?

What is Gestural?

Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
