Bertrand Meniel
Bertrand Meniel is a contemporary french painter known for his photorealistic city scenes. Since the 1990s, he has been regularly featured in surveys on photorealism and hyperrealism. The self-taught artist, who resides in the South of France, returns to everyday urban scenes, particularly in cities across the United States. Meniel renders neon-lit motels, tattoo parlors, and Times Square with astonishing accuracy and detail in rich hues of acrylic paint. Meniel’s work was showcased in “Hyperrealism: 50 Years of Painting,” which toured Europe and the U.S. from 2012 to 2017.Date and place of birt: | 1961, France |
