Daniel Bergez

Renowned for his exceptional art of drapery which he treats at the limit of abstraction, Daniel Bergez uses them as opportunities to reveal "the true subject of painting: light". Hence his eclecticism: still lifes, oriental scenes, urban and natural landscapes (genres he deals with in successive series) ... Daniel Bergez is also an art critic in the press and an art writer. Two works refer to the relationship between literature and painting: Literature and Painting (A. Colin, 2004, new edition 2011), and Peindre Ecrire. The dialogue of the arts (La Martinière, 2008). Exhibitions: Daniel Bergez exhibits in Paris as well as in the provinces (Deauville, Rambouillet) and abroad (Munich, Beijing, Tokyo, Carmel in California). He has been invited to New York, Turin, Stockholm, Düsseldorf, Holland, Switzerland, Canada. It was exhibited at the National Museum of China in Beijing. He is asked for works for Japan every year, and he is on permanent display in an art gallery in the United States. A "brio worthy of the Dutch masters of the great century" (Michel Stanesco, professor at the University of Strasbourg). He has won numerous medals: the Silver Medal and the Gold Medal from the Société des Artistes Français; the Silver Medal and the Vermeil Medal of the Academic Society "Arts Sciences et Lettres"; the Silver Medal and the Gold Medal for French Merit and Dedication in the Arts.
