Bernard Pras
« A magician who shows his tricks », is how Bernard Pras describes himself. Playing with perspective and multiple points of view, the artist, born in 1952, reinterprets historic masterpieces and modernist icons of the Pop age.

Exhibition Catalogue Bernard Pras, presented at the musée du Touquet - Paris Plage (2 december 2017 - 20 may 2018).
Using everyday objects such as children’s toys, scraps of plastic, fabric offcuts, pencils, buttons and bottles, he brings high and low culture face to face with each other with ingenuity, wit and irony.
His art embodies the age of consumerism in which he grew up, influenced by his childhood years spent in the grocers’ shops run by his grandmothers, with their stacks of goods and merchandise of every variety.
Whether they re-create Louis XIV in toilet rolls or David Bowie in plastic toys, his installations reinvent the past and reconstruct the present. Challenging the norms of both figurative art and abstraction, his work deconstructs art and the world in order to create a different perspective on both.
