Description
Bernard Saint Maxent - Just Do Art
Art does not follow the rules… it surpasses them
With "Just Do Art", Bernard Saint-Maxent offers us much more than a contemporary work: he signs a statement of intention.
At the center of the composition, the word ART stands out as an obvious thing. But the artist does not stop at the frame. His emblematic character literally climbs above the work, brush in hand, as if creation refused to be confined within its own limits.
The sculpture crosses the boundaries of the painting, overflows the composition and leads the gaze to a space where painting, material and volume are no longer one.
The splashes of yellow, pink, blue and orange infuse a vibrant energy into this creation. The paint drips testify to a still-living gesture, a work in perpetual motion.
With Bernard Saint-Maxent, art does not expose itself. It escapes.
The greatest artists have never respected the frame
A frame is supposed to contain a work.
But how to confine an idea?
How to limit imagination?
How to ask creativity to stop exactly at the edge of a wooden stick?
So Bernard Saint-Maxent imagines a character who refuses this rule.
He climbs.
He surpasses.
He continues to paint where no one expects him.
The pots of colors overflow.
The brush crosses the space.
The word ART becomes a living construction.
The work is no longer hung on the wall.
It seems to want to continue its story in the room where it is exhibited.
Because true artists do not seek to enter the frame.
They invent the frame of tomorrow.
Great collectors look for works capable of telling a story and creating a dialogue with the one who contemplates them.
"JUST DO ART" possesses this rare quality.
It does not only represent artistic creation.
It becomes the symbol of it.
The character crosses the frame as an idea crosses conventions. It reminds us that art is not made to remain still, but to shake up, surprise and inspire.
With its three-dimensional architecture, its dazzling colors and its universal message, this work establishes itself as an emblematic piece of Bernard Saint-Maxent's recent production.
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.
