Painter - Lille, France

Adé Bernard

“All my work is a search for the earlier subject. It appears through viewpoints that converge into a single prism. What remains is a mystery that must be caught by surprise.”

Works

The collection

Collage, charcoal, oil and pigments. The subject disappears and reappears through the tearing of glued paper. Every work is available for acquisition - enquire directly.

The paintings of “Blue Is the Warmest Colour”

In July 2012, Adé Bernard joined the shoot of Abdellatif Kechiche's film as pictorial adviser to Léa Seydoux. Two of her works appear in the final gallery scene - and Adèle's character says she exhibits alongside her, blurring the line between fiction and reality.
