Bernie is well known for his large paintings of Breton dancers, with many held in private collections in the U.K. and in France.
I like painting people caught in the act of doing something. The unwitting moment, a fleeting glance, or of an expressive action. People naturally immersed in their own worldliness, unhindered, and attracting interest and wonderment.
As onlookers we find ourselves attached, but not intrusive, through curiosity and empathy. It's these moments I find interesting to create imaginative narratives to invite curiosity and reinterpretation.
