Celine BEDAT
Céline Bedat decided at a young age to devote herself to artistic creation. She trained in several art schools in Paris : Duperré, Olivier de Serres (School of Applied Arts), Formamod as well as at the Espace et Matière school. At the Olivier de Serres school, she was lucky enough to have among her teachers the famous designer Serge Mouille, whose genius and kindness left her with unforgettable memories.
Céline Bedat made her first exhibition in 1998, and from then on devoted herself exclusively to creation.
" Everything is beautiful if we know how to highlight it, if we respect man and his environment, and if we believe in it. " The artist s inspired by life, wind, sun, people, architecture, texts,… From our passage on earth, she wants to transmit messages. His work is a testimony of love and recognition for Life.
Céline Bedat sheds light on the world, whether abstract or figurative, with an element of dream and emotion. She expresses herself through her canvases using the full range of colors and various materials such as paper, pigments, clay, inks or even gold and silver leaf.
Born in 1967 in the Paris region, Céline Bedat established her studio in Neuilly-sur-Seine about twenty years ago. She exhibits regularly in Europe and Asia.
The "Squares of Light" are abstract compositions, made on canvas or cardboard.
Touch plays an essential role in these creations. The painting, the work of the material, or the torn papers, reveal "Squares of Light" in a generally colored universe, without geometric form. Céline Bedat takes us into her dreams, a moving world where forms are suggested. A luminous space of subtle and fuzzy sensations.
Torn paper is omnipresent, and systematically reprocessed using techniques borrowed from the textile sector, adapted by the artist for purely creative purposes. Sometimes it occupies the entire surface, sometimes it appears on the canvas in a more discreet way.
Writing is also often present in the "Squares of Light". Words are used as symbols, carriers of ideas and subliminal messages. Or sometimes quite simply as images, the calligraphy contributing to the harmony of the whole.
