François Bard is a contemporary French artist who has become a recognized name through his stirring, intense portraits and figure studies. Essentially, Bard’s art depicts solitary figures, which are presented in a highly realistic manner with sharp contrasts and dramatized.
The artist’s creations are quite typical of a subded reserve of energy, combining the features of an old master with a modern, nearly cinematic mood. Through the use of very bright liting and minimalestic setting, he invites the spectators to look beyond the surface & feel the emotional wight that each figure is radiating.
