Cathelin, Nature Morte au Cyclamen de Barbara, 1986

Bernard Cathelin’s uniqueness lies in his distinctive pictorial technique, characterized by the superimposition of flat, vibrant colors that lend intensity and depth to his compositions. Despite the technical challenges of lithography, the artist strives to preserve this aesthetic, using multiple plates to create subtle tones with a palette rich in nuance. Indeed, the artist doesn’t hesitate to use up to 14 plates for a single lithograph, and this passion for color is reflected in the luminosity and emphasis of his works.
