Through his work, Jean Claude Bertrand offers a visual exploration of the senses, memory, and our relationship with living things. His painting awakens an awareness of the world through light, matter, rhythms, sounds, smells, and even flavors.
The painter questions notions of temporality, perception, and transmission. Each work thus constitutes a space for projection, resonance, and presence.
Jean Claude Bertrand bases his practice on an experimental and multisensory approach. He works on canvas, wood, Altuglas, or stoneware, using mixed techniques that combine pigments, natural materials, transparencies, and textures.
Painting becomes both an intuitive and performative act: some series are born while listening to live music, others in dialogue with a perfume, a wine, a sensation.
He has also collaborated with a master glassmaker in an exploration of stained glass, thus extending his research into the relationship between light and matter.
The uniqueness of Jean Claude Bertrand's work lies in his ability to translate the vibration of reality. His painting does not represent, it restores: it captures an invisible resonance between things, a tension between elements.
Through a living, open, and sensory abstraction, he composes his works as spaces for perceptual experimentation, where matter becomes language and color becomes memory.
His work lies at the crossroads of the arts, the senses, and memories, like a sensitive and universal language that connects perception, matter, and humanity.
