And life has gone

A MODEL WORK

«‘And life has gone’ is a typical example of a Painting with movies by Bernard Gast. He chooses images from an edited movie, and… He dismantles them, cuts out, turns them upside down with these images… He deconstructs, he undoes the film to build his Matrix which becomes Painting : something beyond Painting... A meta-Painting. Yet despite this conceptual approach, he preserves a lyrical dimension. Without fear of aesthetics, he retains the fascination that the images of Cinema exert on the viewer to restore it differently.

In any case, his "Cine Painting" offers a poetic solution for the real world and becomes a matter of contemplation ».

Living... Life... Lingers... to die in bed
Dying without seeing one’s Paintings exhibited again...
The sorrow of dying on the edge of silence... Prays
For their memory to open the border of future
