Bertrand Dorny (1931-2015) was a painter, sculptor and engraver. In 1967, he gave up painting to devote himself to engraving, which he renewed by approaching etching with inventiveness (as shown by the engravings on our website), adding light relief effects of great delicacy. Yves Peyré in the Catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre gravé writes that Bertrand Dorny "abhors the flatness that erases roughness", we find this stylistic trait in his collages, made up of thin strips of folded paper - a technique he developed from 1981 onwards - arranged with a beautiful ease of composition.
In this unique artwork, Dorny arranges thin, mostly vertical strips, alternating rhythms and colors, succeeding in making the whole harmonious, like a small system in itself, whose parts interact in a dynamic way. Dorny has even added a vertical strip from a book, recalling his production of artists' books and his many friendships with poets and writers.
A work of great delicacy, where the gaze is twirling, and delicate effects of volume setting, Dorny as in engraving, is an inventor of forms.
