Description

“Under the amused gaze of the master of ceremonies, a swimmer prepares to dive. Facing spectators wearing hats, a child wearing a wolf mask and a masked Mexican wrestler exchange glances."

This intriguing work combines vibrant colors and discordant elements to create a unique and captivating composition. The surreal elements enhance the dreamlike atmosphere of the whole. The juxtaposition of these elements, combined with the chromatic harmony, invites the viewer to explore the complex narrative behind the work, while highlighting the artist's unique ability to merge disparate worlds into a single painting.

Bernard Hennequin, Que le spectacle commence! - Série figurative décadante
France  • 1953

Presentation

My figurative painting focuses above all on the human condition and offers a personal vision of the world.

Inviting dialogue and exchange, it poses questions, leaving it up to each viewer to examine their own perceptions.

Within highly colourful expanses, disproportionate scales, unexpected framing, systematic shifts and deliberate contrasts create a narrative marked by contradiction, heterogeneity and fragility.

A surprising universe of strangeness and unease, inviting reflection on the human condition, for painting is also 'Cosa mentale' (Leonardo da Vinci).
