Bernard Alligand travaille sur le livre d'artiste LE TEMPS PARTAGÉ dans son atelier Villa des arts à Paris

The painter and engraver Bernard Alligand develops a work linked to nature, time and space. At the border of abstraction and figurative , he is constantly looking for new techniques, draws from the places he crosses to use the materials collected. For more than 30 years, he has collaborated with many poets and illustrated artist's books. In his painted works for LE TEMPS PARTAGÉ, Bernard Alligand creates a tension between the ephemeral (human existence) and the eternal (the universe), transcends the linear perception of time by a play of mirrors and geometric shapes, symbolizes the birth and expansion of the universe in contrasting red and black colors, dotted with silver and gold stars.
