Presentation

Béatrice Bescond is a French artist, born in 1956 in Brest, and living in Brittany. She graduated from the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris and holds a master's degree in the theories and practices of contemporary art from the University of Paris VIII.


His work is influenced by those of Pavel Filonov, Henri Michaux and François Rouan, and nourished by reading Gaston Bachelard and Carl Gustav Jung, as well as by mythologies (ancient and recent, Western and Eastern), esotericism and neuroscience.


Béatrice Bescond "questions the founding myths and archetypal figures in a joint process of figuration and disfigurement". To quote the artist: “My research focuses on the phenomena and perceptual issues of painting which, through extreme fragmentation, offers a specific visual experience. Made up of signs, graphic networks, scriptural traces, pseudo-letters, figures borrowed from the history of representations, my paintings offer profuse and moving surfaces ”.


Béatrice Bescond conceives of her works as “real traps of the gaze, [which] offer dynamic spaces whose perceptual overdetermination of sensitive data activates the projective and imaging functions in the viewer. Thus, the image tends to fade away in favor of the sole movement which converts the space of the work into time of the gaze. The act of seeing then becomes emotion, that is to say a displacement by participation and fusion. "


Béatrice Bescond's works are present in many public and private collections (National Contemporary Art Fund, Saint-Ouen Museum, Czech Museum of Fine Arts (Prague, Czech Republic), Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts (Taipei, Taiwan) , Colas Foundation, etc.).
