Lines, a touch of cartography, architectural tributes, a work full of softness on tones, stories told on paper that has become, by the magic of engraving, a rough wall where the roughness narrates destinies to us, where the relief is the life that takes shape and remains like the imprint of a passage. Bernard Remusat offers us his legends and takes us on his journeys; it's up to us to follow him!
Bernard Remusat was born in 1953 in Aix-en-Provence.
Naturally, he began his artistic journey at the Fine Arts School of Luminy (Marseille).
Then, his desire for learning led him to Amsterdam, where he joined the Rietveld Academy (named after one of the main proponents of the De Stijl movement), specifically in the graphic design section from 1973 to 1978.
Initially, Bernard Remusat practiced his art as an engraver, helping artists (especially those from the Nice school) to transfer their work onto plates in his studio in Mougins. While working alongside César, Arman, Tobiasse, or Lebadang, he perfected his technique. While sharing his knowledge (in Montreal, in 1992, at the Graff workshop), he explored his first flights where lines and parallelograms conversed under the press to give birth to the harmonies that would make him renowned.
The 1990s were marked by his first major exhibitions, in France (SAGA at the Grand Palais, in 1991), in Switzerland, obviously in the Netherlands, but also in Canada. As he diversified his technical alliances (with collages, for example, enriching his engravings), his work on canvas was informed by that on the press, and vice versa.
From Denmark, where he exhibits annually, he brought us, at the turn of the 2000s, a new imagery where Scandinavian legends complement the maps and plans where for over a decade, he has been uncovering the milestones left by humanity's conquest of territory. A testimony of passage, a deliberate nod to rock imagery, a trace of life for those who will come after to explore the same lands.
A researching artist, a craftsman of engraving, Remusat evolves in an abstract realm as sensory as it is conceptual, where lines speak to colors which in turn respond to the material created by these reliefs which are his trademark. These reliefs express, between hollows and roughness, the topography of a singular and poetic journey, of impressive power and rare balance.
