NATHAN BERTET
Born in 1997 in Palaiseau, France
Lives and works in Palaiseau, France
Nathan Bertet graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2023. He lives and works in Palaiseau.
” (…) Located in the suburbs of Paris, Palaiseau is an inexhaustible source of memories for the artist, who meticulously maps them out in his works. In a subtle balance between abstraction and figuration, he composes images in his studio that evoke the familiar places, the streets of which he has been wandering since his childhood. Each day unfolds in colour for Nathan Bertet, who works on dozens of canvases simultaneously, which are closely arranged in his studio, keeping every scene within sight. Avenues, parks, housing estates and hills appear as singular perspectives of his home town. Polysemous and untitled, his works are open to interpretation. He paints small formats: voluptuous and harmonious mental images, in an effort to reaffirm memory without photographic support. For him, the almost mechanical perseverance of memory is essential; if it’s hesitant or it wavers, he has to physically return to the place of the memory to confirm his intuition.(…) Margaux Knight, translation Sadie Fletcher (2024)
