The anamorphic Bernard Prat

In January 2004, I had seen in a television Télématin, a report that showed the completion of the portrait of Jacques Dutronc Bernard Prat.

I was seduced by the concept.

Friday night in the exhibition ARTéNÎM (9 th Exhibition of Contemporary Art in Nîmes), AD Gallery exhibited some works of this artist.

Curiously, the course of Bernard Pras is not that of a photographer.

After more than twenty years of painting but also sculpture by assemblages of found objects he designed in 1997, an amazing form of expression, using the photographic medium, but whose creation has more to painting and sculpture than photography.
The development of a work of Bernard Pras are several steps: The first is
harvest: harvest of used objects (toys, utensils, clothes ... but also household items). Then comes the choice of colors, shapes, sizes.

Finally comes the assembly, the main operation: assembly which will be from the viewfinder of the camera.
people here, this is not the camera that moves to choose the best angle of the subject but the subject itself is constructed in front of the camera static.

true anamorphosis, the cluster of objects becomes portrait: not only image but psychological analysis by the choice of objects and their implementation.
Portraits of friends (Frank, Yota, Gabriella, Yvelines, Vincent), famous portraits (Marilyn Che Van Gogh), but also portraits of anonymous (Pipo, Alsat ...) witnesses the scene where the objects were collected starting.

INTERVIEW WITH BERNARD PRAT:

Where are you from?

From painting then. I had never made a picture of my life before. I had no taste for it. But what interests me now is, first to keep track of my installations and also what appears in the camera viewfinder.

Who are you?

I am a painter whose efforts have led me to the photo. I have behind me 20 years of painting and photo only 3 years, so I consider myself more as a painter.

Besides the problem I raised in my photos are problems of a painter. I feel like a painter who has amputated hands, like a fox cuts the members to get out of the trap into which he fell, to liberate themselves. Exactly.

My vision is that of a painter is just the technique that is different. In painting I wanted to create a kind of space that would be indicated by two things when I was painting I was interested in absolutely empty space left between two tables.

is the photo and facilities that precede them that allowed me to establish this relationship between empty space and the viewer will be able to live. What is beautiful is the imagination of the beholder, as Duchamp said: "It's the viewer who makes the table".

A BIT OF CULTURE:

An anamorphosis is a reversible deformation of an image using a system optical - like a mirror curve - or process mathematical .
Some artists works produced by this process and created distorted images that are recomposed to a predetermined point of view and privileged. Historically, the anamorphosis is one of the applications work of Piero della Francesca on perspective. Indeed, this is the rationalization of vision that led to the systematic projection techniques, which are anamorphic one outcome. This "secret art of perspective" referred Dürer experiencing multiple applications, both in the field of architecture and sham in commercial uses.
