Bernard Dumaine Explained

Bernard Dumaine (born August 20, 1953, in Angoulême, France) is a French artist best known for his work in photorealism and surrealism styles and for his background designs[1] for television cartoons. He works in a variety of media, including oil paints, acrylic paints, graphite pencil, digital painting, digital collage, and video.

Life and work

He graduated in sculpture with a mention for drawing in 1977 in Angers (Maine et Loire, France). Many single and group exhibitions followed, both locally and internationally. His early works included drawings and oil paintings in the hyperrealist and surrealist styles.

He is currently working mostly in digital media,[2] oil paints, and pencil. He is also doing Exquisite corpse works[3] in collaboration with many artists internationally,[4] and these collaborative works have recently been exhibited in galleries across France.[5] 70 of these collaborations, drawings and paintings, were part of his personal exhibition "Dreaming Deep" in Healdsburg, California, in 2019.[6] Since of 2019, he uses artificial intelligence to create models which are then produced very faithfully in a traditional way in drawing or painting.
