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.
Text by Jean-Paul Perrenx: "I live in a delirium of images. They pass in front of my eyes and my hand seizes them to better paint them on the canvas. It doesn't matter if it's oil, acrylic or pastel because what counts for me is the final result, it's when my painting speaks to me, whispers things in my ear, it's the impact of the colour in front of my eyes, it's my picture book, ladies and gentlemen.
