Bruno Dufourmantelle, born in 1949, is a French artist known for his abstract and geometric works that often explore the relationship between color, light, and form. His art frequently employs layered textures and minimalist compositions, balancing precision with subtle emotional resonance.

Over the years, Dufourmantelle’s works have been exhibited in several prestigious French and European galleries, particularly in institutions focusing on modern and contemporary art. His pieces have appeared in both solo and group exhibitions, reflecting his interest in spatial balance and visual rhythm.

Collectors and curators value his work for its disciplined aesthetic and refined use of tone. Many of his paintings and works on paper are held in private collections across France and Switzerland, with occasional appearances in auctions specializing in postwar and contemporary art.

Bruno Dufourmantelle occupies this place in which the distincition between realism and abstraction dissolves or becomes blurred, the form and the figure meld in the exploration of pictorial practice. His paintings therefor constitute a memory of painting, in reference to the emotional turbulence a gesture can produce, the infinite space created out of color, the impasto can be read as immediacy and as an asserted material presence. The artist makes explicit reference to the indomitable in painting, in its capacity to create an analogy with the invisible and the unintelligible: « Paintings are interior places. I am, above all, seeking the interiority of beings and the invisible ».
