Modern art from everyday objects

The unmistakable artist Bernard Pras actually started out as a photographer and now deals with art from everyday objects. His oversized portraits are made up of clothes, tools, toys, car tires and many other things you can imagine.

If you look at his artwork from close up, they look more like a chaotic collection of bits and pieces. From a certain perspective and from a greater distance you can see the size of his art. This art direction is known as anamorphosis among connoisseurs.

Bernard Pras was born in 1952 and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Toulouse. After twenty years of painting, the artist has found a new form of expression – the art of everyday objects. The basis is a drawing and according to this design he then collects the objects with a certain shape, color and even texture. Then he slowly puts the objects together and through his camera he controls what the effect is from afar. The anamorphic artworks are sometimes so large that they can fill an entire room. See in video below how exactly everything is done.
