JEAN-BAPTISTE BERNADET
b. 1978, FranceJean-Baptiste Bernadet’s references range across a broad spectrum of art historical precedents, from Monet, Vuillard and Munch in the past to Joe Bradley and Josh Smith in the present. Like his forebears in colour painting, Bernadet uses the ways that colours, and their interaction, both activate the senses and allow the viewer to reflect back on the nature of that sensory activation, something which we realise in conditioned by both us and the artist being products of a certain time and place.
