artist/ Bergstein

France

Born in 1988, Bergstein grew up between Paris and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. At the age of 18, he leaves France for Spain. First Ibiza, then Barcelona where he joined an industrial design school. Back in Paris, he completes his studies at ESMOD and obtains a degree in fashion design.

Accustomed by his training to instant sketching for material purposes, Bergstein decided to free himself from this discipline and become a designer in his own right. The drawing is no longer a support or a step in a process, it becomes the center of a purely aesthetic research. He borrows his silhouettes and sets from the worlds of theater, fashion and dance.

Bergstein produces most of his work on pattern canvas, a fabric dear to fashion designers, which he used to make his prototypes. The fabric is woven, textured and raw, allowing him to bring authentic and innovative effects to his drawing technique. Under the juxtaposed strokes of his Pilot pen, like countless small hatchings, the bodies become motifs that he repeats or fragments, dialoguing with the void to which he leaves an important place, in a delicate search for balance and harmony.
