Artwork location: France

A terracotta jug, an apple and a pear stand out behind a white window, while a glass full of whiteness is painted in the foreground.
This painting is framed in a shadow box and presented in a display alongside The Last Tower, a dystopian canvas by Pierre Clayette.

What inhabits this painting is the sky. A pure sky, traversed by clouds, rendered in a delicate, suggestive, almost ethereal manner. This painting has no ground, no walls, no horizon. It is simply a window onto the sky with a few everyday objects placed against a background of air, light, and the slow movement of a passing cloud. This painting is part of a virtual exhibition on the artist, which can be viewed at lesatamanes.com. Alex Berdal: Slowing the Flight of Time.

The cloud is visible time: it has no edge, no fixed shape, no defined duration. It stretches and dissolves, like memory, like daylight. By painting it thus—at once very present and almost invisible—Berdal makes it a symbol of time slipping silently away. The material objects he anchors in his canvas—the jug, the apple, the glass—seem fragile and evanescent, as if to remind us that painting alone can bear witness to the sweetness of a moment that cannot be held back.

Presentation

Alex Berdal is a French visual artist, painter and sculptor, born on June 9, 1945 in Perpignan.
Alex Berdal trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he quickly developed a highly original perception of pictorial volumes, simultaneously present and bordering on the surreal. He participated in the Prix de Rome competition in 1968, with his painting "The Garden of Earthly Delights," and was awarded the Second Grand Prix de Rome, in a turbulent year in which no First Grand Prix was awarded. His painting was exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1969 and purchased by the French State (FNAC).

Winner of the Prince Rainier III of Monaco International Grand Prize in 1969 and a resident at the Casa de Velázquez in 1971, Alex Berdal continues to explore the geometrization of forms, playing on the proximity of planes and the openness of space. He exhibits in major Parisian salons, such as the Salon d'Automne, the Salon des Artistes Français, and the Salon des Peintres Témoins de leur Temps, while simultaneously refining his artistic approach.

In 1970, an exhibition in Japan was followed in 1974 by a presentation of his works at the Orangerie du Sénat. In 1975, a tour of exhibitions showcased his work in Russia (Moscow and Leningrad).

He was awarded the gold medal at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1978 and the following year, the Taylor Prize at the Salon d'Automne recognized his entire body of work.

Berdal builds his canvases in superimposed layers, playing on the density of the paint layer in contrast to the simplicity of the volumes. His forms are often embedded in the paint, the silhouettes suggested. His subjects, particularly in his still lifes, seem to emerge slowly, like a memory surfacing on the canvas. Gradually, Berdal turned more and more towards sculpture, which he saw as the culmination of his painted work.

Alex Berdal died in 2010. His works are included in the collections of the FNAC, the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Musée de Fontainebleau and the Musée d'Art Moderne de Téhéran.
