Bernard Frize

Born in 1954, in France
Lives and works in Paris (France)

Since the late 1970s, Bernard Frize has contributed to reviving the language of abstraction by challenging the idea of “painting as object.”

Biography

He creates distance by painting in a uniform manner according to established protocols; the labor itself is often delegated to assistants. These rules reject all feeling, giving precedence to materials and external constraints. Frize provokes accident and chance, creating a tension between the execution of a process and the unforeseen events that accompany it.
