"...Bernard Pagès, unceasingly, fights. It is necessary for him to dominate the matter, always rough, rudimentary, but increasingly heavy, to assemble the discordances, to illuminate the disparate effects by its own pallet of colors, refining, declining and multiplying the techniques, drawing from the vocabulary of the primitivism of the matter, the archaisms of the form, the metaphors of architecture, seeking more on the side of the origins and the work of the man than on the side of the theory and the history of art.
