Bernard Piffaretti

Bernard Piffaretti is a French painter born in 1955, known for his distinctive methodological practice of dividing his canvases vertically down the middle and painting an image on one half, then replicating it freehand on the other half. This self-imposed system of doubling and repetition raises questions about originality, copying, and the nature of painting itself. His work has been exhibited internationally and is regarded as a significant contribution to conceptual approaches within painting.
