CRITICAL VIEWS ABOUT MY WORK
Art fusing East and West.
Bellon revealed a number of moods and an extremely sensitive perception. The artist enters the landscape with the outline of a jaunty figure doing a handstand. A mixed media artwork shows life from the angle of a pigeon perched on the pavement and gazing up at legs of all shapes and sizes hurrying to the metro. A still life worked with oil on canvas is a beautiful source of tranquillity with figs depicted in deep, cool tones against a light, dappled background. In this exhibition one shared the pleasure of an artist who enjoy the process of art making; the ultimate reward of creativity »

UN DOMAINE ORIGINAL
"DANS LE DOMAINE ARTISTIQUE, BERTRAND BELLON EST PARTICULIEREMENT ORIGINAL. SON ORIGINALITE NE RESIDE PAS DANS SA TECHNIQUE, MAIS DANS SON CHAMP DE VUE, PLUS PRECISEMENT, DANS SA SENSATION PARTICULIÈRE ENVERS L'HOMME ET ENVERS LE MONDE OU ON SE TROUVE SOUS SA PLUME, COMME SOUS SON PINCEAU, L'HOMME N'A PLUS DE DIFFERENCE DE NATIONALITE, NI MÊME DE DISTINCTION DE SEXE. CE QUI LE PRÉOCCUPE?
CE N'EST PAS LA SITUATION D'UN INDIVIDU OU D'UNE RACE, MAIS LA CONDITION DE L'HOMME, LE DESTIN DE TOUTE L'HUMANITÈ; LE PAYSAGE EST PRIVÈ DE COULEUR LOCALE, LE MONUMENT N'A PLUS, APPAREMMENT, D'APPARTENANCE CULTURELLE. BERTRAND BELLON PEINT UN LIEU OU UN ENDROIT, MAIS EN REALITE, C'EST TOUJOURS L'ESPRIT HUMANISTE QU'IL VEUT NOUS MANIFESTER. NOTRE PEINTRE RECOURT A L'AUBE, AU CREPUSCULE, A LA PLUIE OU AUX BROUILLARDS; A TOUTES CES ROUTES QUI MÈNENT QUELQUE PART. IL RECOURT AUSSI A UN ETAT D'AME EXTRÈME, OU LES DÉTAILS N'ONT PLUS DE SIGNIFICATION, ET OU ON NE FAIT QU'UN DIALOGUE TERMINAL AVEC DIEU, OU AVEC LE DESTIN... SES OEUVRES FLOUES NE NOUS DEMANDENT JAMAIS DE PORTER UN JUGEMENT "BON" OU "MAUVAIS", MAIS ELLES EXIGENT DE NOUS REFLEXION. LE FLOU EST UN ETAT DE TRANSITION, QUI SE TROUVE ENTRE LE RÉEL ET L'IRRÉEL, COMME UNE ILLUSION, D'OU ON APPERCOIT LE CHAMP PRIVÉ DE NOTRE ARTISTE.

BIRTH OF A STYLE - PHILIPPE GREIG
AFTER OF A LONG PERIOD OF SILENT CREATION BERTRAND BELLON FINALLY AGREES TO SHARE WITH US HIS CONFIDENTIAL SENSATIONS
ONLY A FEW HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO WITNESS HIS EVOLUTION, FROM HIS FIRST PAINTINGS TO THIS SET OF SPONTANEOUS CHARCOALS ENHANCED BY BRIGHT COLOR STREAKS
SPECTATORS OF THE PROGRESSIVE ELABORATION OF THE STYLE DEMONSTRATED HERE WITH EVIDENCE
A NARROW FRAMING, LIKE HIS ACUTE GLANCE, RELISHES THE DETAILS WHICH TOUCH, LINK, OR ROOT
AND THE ARTIST MAKES US FEEL AT THE SAME TIME THE WEIGHT OF LIFE AND THE WORLD’S BEAUTY
WHILE HE STILL NEEDS TO REVEAL HIS WORK THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF OIL PAINT AND CANVAS, PLAYING WITH PIGMENTS, WE CAN ALREADY BE SURE THAT THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT WILL BEAR THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS.
WE AWAIT FOR IT ALL THE MORE THAT A VERY PERSONAL PICTURAL APPROACH ASSERTS ITSELF HERE: THE BIRTH OF A STYLE.
