Bertrand Fournier’s practice explores a playful tension between abstraction and suggestion. His work reduces forms to essential, almost childlike geometries, allowing color and line to carry symbolic and emotional weight. Fournier moves freely across series to avoid constraint, cultivating a visual language that is both immediate and enigmatic. Bold, flat colour fields and irregular shapes coexist in fragile harmony. In this liminal space, his compositions become landscapes of thought: simple in appearance yet rich in coded meaning.

Bertrand Fournier lives and works in Paris. A self-taught artist, he began painting in his early thirties, developing his distinctive vocabulary of symbolic geometry with remarkable immediacy. Fournier has exhibited widely across Europe, as well as in the US and Australia, with solo shows in galleries such as Sebastian Fath Contemporary (Mannheim) and Alzueta Gallery (Barcelona), among others. His work has also been presented in international fairs including Art Dubai, Zona Maco, Art Miami and Art Paris. His paintings are part of notable collections such the Reinhard Ernst Collection and the Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens Collection, marking his consolidated presence in key contemporary art contexts.
