Lilian Bourgeat & Fred Bernard

Lilian Bourgeat
Born in Saint-Claude in 1970. He lives and works in Dijon.

Emerging in the mid-1990s, Lilian Bourgeat's work is characterised by a constant taste for play and farce. The artist distils an often wry sense of humour into the colourful and seductive world of his oversized "hyper-realistic" objects. Like traps, his sculptures lure us in with their playfulness, only to quickly play with us and the confusion they cause.

Works on the art trail: Barrière Vauban, Chaise, Porte-Bouteille, Parpaing.
E-Cône, a worksite cone, will be on display from 28 September on the Beaumont-sur-Sarthe roundabout.

Fred Bernard
Born in 1969 in Beaune.

Fred Bernard is a comic strip author and illustrator. He studied at the Beaux-arts in Beaune, then went on to the Emile Cohl art school in Lyon, where he met a friend and future collaborator: François Roca. In tandem with François Roca, he has written a number of books for young people, published by Albin Michel and Seuil Jeunesse.
