Périodes - Bernard Rancillac

By presenting the painting of Bernard Rancillac through a selection of works from his different periods, Galerie Loft above all reveals powerful images—raw reflections by the artist on life and the history of the past twenty years. Bernard Rancillac is one of those rare artists who display a personality that is often provocative. He fears neither words nor actions; indeed, he even seems to unsettle. Yet art is a language, and certain institutions—well aware of this—have every interest in silencing it. It is therefore time, and above all oblivion, that allow the image to endure, revealing everything that remains: everything that people chose not to understand. It is in this spirit that Galerie Loft presents Bernard Rancillac and his “Periods.” He belongs to those who, alongside movements such as narrative figuration, new figuration, the Nouveaux Réalistes, and Pop Art, have asserted—and continue to assert—their voice.
