Cette peinture est une Vanité, genre qui traditionnellement invite à une méditation sur le sens de la vie.

Cette peinture est une Vanité, genre qui traditionnellement invite à une méditation sur le sens de la vie. Le dessin central du crâne interfère avec les ondes du labyrinthe circulaire, évoquant un chemin de vie mais aussi le mouvement cyclique du temps. Lettres et signes renforcent la composition en cercle en jouant sur les effets d’ombre et de lumière tandis que deux figures apparaissent dans la partie supérieure, deux présences suggérant le mouvement et la stabilité, le souffle vital et le mental, la passion et la raison, le sensible et l’intelligible….

Béatrice Bescond is a contemporary French artist, born in Brest in 1956. She studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where her style was shaped in the studios of Vincent Guignebert and Henri Cueco, two mentors whose meticulous attention to detail greatly influenced her development. Her paintings are characterized by dynamic, vibrating surfaces composed of graphic networks, symbols, and figures drawn from cultural memory. Bescond's work also reflects her engagement with the ideas of philosophers like Gaston Bachelard and Carl Gustav Jung.

From 1988 to 1998, her work was regularly showcased by the Galerie du Centre in Paris and at international art fairs, including Lineart Ghent, Art Expo New York, and the Stockholm Art Fair. Since 1996, Bescond has been living and working in Vannes, Brittany, while exhibiting in France, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, and the United States. Her international projects include a Paris-Texas cultural exchange in 2011 and an artist residency at the Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts in Taipei in 2016. In 2018, she presented a series centered on plants at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Vannes, with a current focus on the symbolic significance of trees across cultures.

Bescond’s works are part of numerous public and private collections, including FNAC, FDAC, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Vannes, the Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts in Taipei, and the Fondation Colas. Her art explores fundamental myths and archetypal figures, employing a technique that balances figuration and disfiguration, appearance and disappearance. Her labyrinthine canvases are filled with interwoven forms, disintegrating contours, and transforming surfaces that invite the viewer into a dynamic visual experience.

Her paintings, often large-scale, create fluid spaces that engage the viewer’s imagination, turning the act of seeing into an emotional journey—a "displacement by participation and fusion." In her work, the fixed image dissolves, allowing the viewer to experience the shifting, unstable world that mirrors the movement of life itself.
