Charles Bézie

About the artist

Bézie has an intuitive relation with numbers, they talk to him about human proportions and perfection, and about construction and painting, he interprets them within doing homage as he creates paintings using these series of numbers, like other artists paint landscapes.
His pictorial research concretises itself by compositions where the division of the surface is playing with the superposition of several thickness of paint until he obtains a slight relief. The material of the canvas disappears progressively through a calculated thickness.

Born 1934 in Varades, lives and works in Paris
