The works of Jacques Bernard Bizon are many representations of the Beauties of the world, in their multiple expressions.
Their form, guided by the artist’s pictorial feeling which livens him up from the shot to the powdery paper print, alternately refer to Claude Monet or Yves Klein, Claude Le Lorrain or Mark Rothko, Jean-Baptiste Oudry or René Magritte, William Turner or Joan Miro.
