Bernard Pras<\/a> was born in 1952 in the south-west of France in a toy shop.\u00a0After more than 20 years spent as a painter, and also a sculptor of recovered objects, Pras conceived in 1997, an astonishing form of expression, using photography as a basis for the creation of what amounts to a form of installation art.\u00a0Pras\u2019s work does not illustrate the painter\u2019s art but the way the eye views an object.\u00a0In fact, brush and paint are replaced by the object itself.<\/p>\n
