Anamorphosen - Figure Libre. Starting from a photograph, French artist creates amazing pieces of art, by adding ordinary objects like used toys, tools, pieces of rubber, or whatever else you can think of.
For the start of the spring, Photo Edition Berlin is showing „Anamorphosis – Free figure“, a Photo project of the French artist BERNARD PRAS. This exhibition is his first solo-show in the Berlin gallery.
Starting from a photograph, Bernard Pras creates amazing pieces of art, by adding ordinary objects like used toys, tools, pieces of rubber, or whatever else you can think of. From up-close his works look like nothing more than random stacks of stuff, but from a certain angle and distance, they reveal their true beauty.
Bernard Pras was born in 1952 and studied fine arts in Toulouse. In 1997, having painted during 20 years, he found a new way of expression. Working from a drawing, he collects heteroclite objects, according to their colour, their shape, and even their sense. Then he assembles them, observing the progress of his work through his camera. Then appears the subject, whose image will be fixed.
