Alain BESSE is a painter of the pure imaginary. That can be seen when one follows his itinerary. Indeed, he started with a surrealist period which was, in a way, a training period. He then went on to a new era, which lasted for several years, and can be described as a mix of surrealist-like naïve style with a pinch of sci-fi. During that period, the painter grew on the technical level as much as on the level on internal resources. From then on, a little like an explorer, he engaged in paths of dreams and the infinite, leaving behind figurative representation. I would call that dreamlike abstraction.

Amongst his major influences, one must mention André Verdet, art critic, poet, painter, Picasso's friend, Fernand Léger, Chagall and so many others. The latter has found in Alain BESSE's artwork the excellence and the particularities it contains. As for me, I still remember mature pieces with their atmosphere where we feel like where travelling in time. I mean a time where past, present and future fuse.

Look carefully at Alain BESSE's work because through them, one can make out a secret knowledge and capture an equally secret act.
