Bernard Frize's *Juillet 15* is a vibrant and meticulously constructed work executed in tempera and lacquer on glass, a combination that lends the surface a luminous, almost liquid depth. The transparent support allows light to interact with the layered pigments in ways unavailable on traditional canvas, amplifying the work's sense of chromatic intensity. True to Frize's systematic approach, the composition reflects his ongoing investigation into the mechanics of painting itself, where process and chance converge to produce results that feel simultaneously controlled and spontaneous.
