Bernard Aubertin

Biography

Bernard Aubertin was born in 1934 in Fontenay-aux-Roses, France.

In the 50s he was one of the founders and animators of the "Zero Group" in Düsseldorf in which participated, among others, Yves Klein, Piero Manzoni, Lucio Fontana, Enrico Castellani, Otto Piene, Günter Ueker. Its first red monochromes date back to this period.

His artistic activity took place initially in Paris and then from the 70s in Brest and for long periods between Brescia and Verona. Since 1990 he lives and works in Reutlingen in Germany with frequent stays in Brescia.

In addition to his "monochrome", he is known for the use of the combustion of different materials and objects, from books to musical instruments to model cars.

Above all, his notoriety is due both to the "dessin de feu" collages of matches, variously arranged in geometric shapes on a background cardboard and to which he is then set on fire obtaining a very suggestive result, and to his performances in which he burns pianos and real cars.  Aubertin dies in Reutlingen, Germany, on August 31, 2015

Bernard Aubertin - Informale (Informal)

The Informal was born after the Second World War involving both European and American artists. It can be considered the point of convergence of previous artistic experiences such as Cubism. Expressionism and Surrealism. The name itself shows that informal art is a formless art and therefore stands out from both figurative art and abstract art. In fact, figurative art is based on the representation of what is seen, while abstract art is essentially composed of geometric figures. Informal art to develop a work also uses unusual materials, just think of the jute bags and plastics of Burri or the matches of Aubertin. Informal art is also characterized by the use of forms that have a clear three-dimensionality, typically the works of Bonalumi and Castellani,which allow to play both on their distribution on the canvas floor and on the alternation of lights and shadows depending on the incident light. As mentioned, the Informale was a worldwide movement of which the German naturalized French Hans Hartung, the Swiss Schneider, the Zero Group were part; Pollock and De Kooning in the United States, group GUTAI in Japan with, among others, Shozo Shimamoto and Kazuo Shiraga.
