The majority of the paintings presented here were made in 2013. Their theme is the Saint-Laurent bridge in Mâcon (Burgundy), represented and declined through various phantasmagorical visions. Jean-Paul Perrenx had named this series 'Les Personnages au pont'.
As a symbol of the passage between life and death, the visible and the invisible, dream and reality, the bridge appears as a character in its own right in the painter's universe. It is worth noting that one of the artist's real painting palettes was inserted into the canvas "Woman with a Palette and a Dog", linking the painter indissolubly to this view of the Saône that he saw from his window.
