Andre Bardet

André Bardet showed a deep interest in painting from early childhood, though professional obligations kept him from his easel for many years, resulting in limited early output. Later in life, as his circumstances allowed, he returned to painting full time and developed the distinctive artistic personality that defines his work today.
Bardet is drawn primarily to the interplay of light in his subjects, working from diverse locations throughout France including Auvergne, Normandy, the Mediterranean coast, and Greater Paris. His work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including shows at Club Pernod on the Champs Elysees in Paris from 1985 through 1988, Hotel Mercure in Clermont Ferrand in 1988, Caisse d’epargne in Clermont Ferrand in 1989, and the Town Hall of Levallois in September 1988. His paintings have been sold at auction in Limoges, Aurillac, and Clermont Ferrand.
The artist has participated in prestigious international venues including the Grand Palais in Paris, the Japanese Festival of Osaka from 1984 to 1989, and the Panorama of Contemporary Painting in Berne, Switzerland. He received a Silver Medal from the European Academy of Arts in France. Bardet is represented by Park West Gallery and has been featured in multiple editions of the International Art Directory and other prominent art publications.
