Alain Bertrand’s paintings fuse the language of illustration, advertising and photo-realistic painting. They are a nostalgic reminder of a post-war America: prosperous, unified and dreaming big.
Alain Bertrand's latest exhibition is a pure iconic Americana. Classic Bertrand, colourful and bustling New York streets are tempered by black and white 50s glamour. It's easy to lose yourself in the French artist's technically brilliant and evocative imagery.
The French painter’s love affair with evocative portraits of post-war Americana continues. But what’s that among the gleaming Buicks and Cadillacs? A London bus. A Hackney Carriage. An E-Type Jag.
Yes, Alain has finally brought his painter’s eye to the UK and the results are fabulous.
More dreamlike than purposefully nostalgic of the american culture. Michel Guégan Directorate of Communication
Alain Bertrand delivers in his paintings his vision of the American dream. Captured life moments of the mythical "American way of life". Rock music and American cars are never far away from his workshop.
