About this artwork
"St. Denis" is a fantasy painting with architectural references of the Gothic cathedral of St. Denis, that famous church north of Paris, which was groundbreaking for the Gothic era. The strange thing about this picture is that the foundations of this venerable cathedral seem to be sinking into the water. The pillars of the church look like trees with roots that rise to the vaults from an unsafe, muddy ground.
This strange ambiguity, half nature,… half architecture, executed in a cleverly spontaneous painting style, is what makes the painting so interesting.

« Sometimes things are not what they seem. The world is multi-layered and complex. We only need to change our point of view and our view of things changes. »
Peter Bernhard is an experienced artist based in Germany whose paintings have been exhibited nationally, as well as in the United Arab Emirates, and China. Through his art, he explores and examines parallel levels of reality as an image subject. In Bernhard's bold compositions, architectural and figurative elements are in tension with abstract shapes and color gradients.
