Description

Mixed media - painting - resin - assemblage

Display Frame Presentation

In this precious work in an intimate format, Bernard Saint Maxent orchestrates a composition of rare elegance, where painting and volume engage in subtle dialogue.

Suspended in a minimalist space, colorful, organically shaped forms evoke levitating chalices, as if frozen in a moment of grace. Exquisitely fine graphic lines structure the space and infuse the whole with a fluid rhythm.

At the heart of this scenography, a vibrant and expressive resin sculpture emerges. Treated with a rich, textured material, it introduces a unique, almost performative, narrative dimension. The work then shifts into a third dimension, blurring the lines between painting and sculpture.

The light, captured by the shop window, enhances the contrasts of textures and amplifies the depth, offering the eye an evolving experience depending on the angle of observation.

Bernard Saint Maxent has developed an immediately recognizable visual style, where the hybridization of techniques becomes a true language. His work explores the tension between graphic lightness and sculptural density, between spontaneity and controlled construction.

Through his works, he offers a contemporary and poetic vision, nourished by pop influences and a free imagination, where each composition becomes a micro-universe.

Why this work is essential in a collection:

Acquiring a work by Bernard Saint Maxent means choosing a unique piece, both accessible and demanding, which goes beyond mere aesthetics to be part of a clearly defined contemporary artistic approach.

This work, with its rich aesthetics and presence, will naturally find its place in a discerning collection or an interior with a strong identity.

Presentation

Bernard Saint-Maxent is self taught, and this has allowed him to follow his own ideas in choice of materials and to integrate all new kinds of elements to his creations. His current work revolves around the pranks of an omnipresent rangy character with a joie de vivre.

He gives movement and life to his sculptures. His inspiration comes from the burlesque scenes of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, from current events to advertising, the contradictions of modern life and his own ravings. Even if the subjects he covers don't always make you smile, they are nonetheless treated with humour and a zest for life. He strives to attract attention and then reflection.

Each sculpture is different and “one off" because there is no cast. They are created with a metallicstructure around which he models with resin and then applies a varnish. After a day he applies two coats of bronze paint and after another day he finishes with a patina that looks like bronze. The specs are made separately! The sculpture is then attached to aluminium for wall hanging.

Bernard feels that art should be light-hearted, and that it should bring pleasure.

Bernard Saint Maxent has exhibited widely in Europe. His work has been exhibited in the UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, Toronto and New York with Linda Blackstone, with whom he has been associated with since 2008. His work seems to appeal to an international quirky sense of humour, and Bernard has enjoyed sell out shows during this time. He has, to date, held two sell out solo shows in the Place des Vosges, Paris. His work is also exhibited in galleries in Honfleur, Courcheval and St. Paul De Vence in France.
