Bernadette Bour. Galerie Arnaud Lefebvre
Bernadette Bour’s practice blurs the boundaries between painting and textile art, between gesture and construction.
The exhibition titled “From Process to Work: The Painting of Bernadette Bour”, focuses on how her pieces emerge from a tactile, layered process rather than a single painterly gesture.
Bernadette Bour power lies in the interplay of texture, transparency, and the visibility of the artist’s hand — emphasizing both fragility and material presence.
Bernadette Bour (born in Nancy, France) is a French visual artist known for her highly material approach to painting.
She works with cotton canvas, tissue paper, blotting paper, gauze, and threads, which she sews, tears, glues, paints, and layers.
Her practice explores the physicality of the surface — what she calls “the painting’s exhibition of what it is made of.”
