Eléonore Bernair Feeling reality
It seems entirely natural to feel fascinated when looking at Eléonore
Bernair's seascape paintings. In an instant, a kind of magnetic pull
catapults the viewer deep into the mystery of the powers of nature
and at the same time high into altitudes where one easily believes to
hear the magic buzz of heaven. The elements of nature seem to be
bursting of energy, yet there is a supernatural air around, as if not
from this world. The song of the wind and the roll of the sea mix with
the whisper of legends of the myths of creation, a sensation that
appears to be deeply woven into every centimeter of the
paintings. Someone who could not see Bernair's seas might be
bewildered about such broad words and possibly suspect them to be
from the late nineteenth century, but no, I am writing them right
now and these paintings are modern. In fact, very modern. Well -
timeless. And now, that you see them, I guess you agree that
Eleonore Bernair´s proud statement of reality can cope with even the
biggest stage: That´s what is. It´s all yours. Love it! Hyperrealism is
the name of this genre of painting. Hyper, because of its intensity,
realism, because it appreciates just what there is - a worship of the
here and now.
