The art world seen through the eyes of the artist.
The third issue of L’Officiel Art is now on stands. We are bringing back the essence of art, its reality, thanks to the exclusive encounters and interviews with players from all areas of the field.
By unveiling the art universe, not only do we present the artists’ creations, but we also emphasize that art is directly linked to today’s society.

Bertrand Lavier
“Art and life have little in common. Art is a parallel world that accompanies reality, but its frontiers, however slender they may be, are impermeable. The artist is someone who undertakes the task of disconnecting with reality in order to reach what we call art.”
After forty years spent observing the evolution of the art world, Bertrand Lavier is convinced that “contemporary art is extraordinarily popular because the people interested in it are not, in fact, interested in it at all.”
Doug Aitken : The art of living

As for his works, the title came first. And “acid modernism” was the starting point for his house, which is “not avant-garde at all costs….it is on a human scale.”
