About the Item

Sunstorm, 24 x 24 inches, drypoint on aluminum (Frame Size: 25 x 25 in.) by Paul Vincent Bernard. $2,450 PROCESS AND MEDIA: Scratched, etched, and rubbed enamel-coated printing plates/painted aluminum panel. Bernard crosses the lines between painting and printmaking as he drags paint, wipes paint, and scribes dry point lines into his paint. His shapes tend to crowd the margins of his pieces-- dense, black, heavy forms edged in lively mark making. The large buttes and mesas of Utah’s stunning geography provide a starting point for many of Bernard’s paintings. Bernard takes forms, sometimes famous, iconic structures or geographic formations, sometimes personally meaningful forms, and reduces them to bare shapes and masses generally unrecognizable as the originals. The resulting minimalist landscapes are activated with busy crosshatches, scribbles, or scratches. Paul Vincent Bernard is a Salt Lake printmaker and painter who creates minimalist landscapes– abstract shapes, paths, and margins inspired by the spare Utah geography. Dark monoliths and deep black forms are threaded with slender fissures, edged in loose fast scrawls that jut into only the merest slip of pale horizon. Working in both media, Bernard’s sensibilities as a painter are informed by his printmaking training, while his prints frequently have a painterly feel. And his inks: deep, matte, light-absorbing, blacks. The inks are frequently painted onto enamel-coated printing plates or painted panel that are then scratched, rubbed, and scribed-upon in a way that leaves the finished piece with not just gravity, but also energy.
