WHAT'S NEW? « Modernastic » by François Bernard


In praise of everyday simplicity. François Bernard focuses on a form of modernity that loves minimalism and uncluttered spaces, and elevates shapes and reaffirms the sensual power of materials. Thus emerges a "feeling for things" that unites all our senses and reinforces our perception of an object. A certain form of spirituality without religion guides a creative spirit that is simple, comfortable, minimal, and poetic, where raw beauty rubs shoulders with a rigorous aesthetic.
