Reception: Thursday December 7, 2006 6-8 PM

Press Release

Maintaining the traditions of the Fauvist art movement's use of vivid colors and confident lines, Lionel Bedos' paintings embrace a primal, spontaneous harmony. Describing his work as rendering "the rumors of his interior world," Bedos relies on basics like red, blue and yellow within black borders to create the building blocks for his artistic vision, and often places these central forms within a field of light brush strokes and calligraphic lines. What results is a study of the relation between geometrics and abstraction. The basic forms, either stacked or linked together like puzzle pieces, are also suggestive of the animal kingdom. Created with these vibrant blocks of color, his animals resemble stained-glass creatures, but they also generate the dynamic of the intense composition of the canvas itself. Coming as he does from an artistic family, and clearly influenced by the art movements of the past, Lionel Bedos maintains the integrity and passion in both his personal and cultural inheritance.
