Jean-Baptiste Bernadet

°1978, Paris (FR) - lives and works in Brussels (BE)

The paintings of Jean-Baptiste Bernadet show dazzling colours standing out on a dark background, which address the viewer directly. Nonetheless one can feel rejected by his paintings at first; its sensitive, rich and complex surfaces can force the viewer to ignore this feeling. Close to a kind of auto-fiction, as the artist calls it, the narrative of his paintings merges with the mental projections of the viewers.

Jean-Baptiste Bernadet has had numerous solo exhibitions, including shows at Retrospective Gallery, New York; Rod Barton in London; Karma in New York; and the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas.

His work has been shown in several group exhibitions at venues such as WIELS in Brussels; Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels; White Flag Projects, St. Louis; and Musée des Beaux-Arts de Tourcoing.
