Charles Bézie was born in 1934, in Varades, Pays de la Loire, France.
Charles attended courses at the School of Art of St Nazaire from 1952 to 1955. Then he visited Jullian Academy in Paris during 1957 - 1958. Finally, he took Fine Arts Course of Reims in 1958 - 1959.
Since 1974, Charles Bézie uses straight, vertical lines and two diagonal lines to create his artistic works. In the beginning, he wanted to distinguish his work from one of the great elders Malevich and Mondrian by means of eradicating the geometry by a web of fine lines. He calls this his graphic period.
During the years that followed, his work passed through several phases where the line thickened to become a strip and resulted in a "quadrille". In 1995, he abandoned oblique lines. Since that date, his work has become more and more difficult, with "Gradations" where they are divided into strata and strings with "cadences."
The year 2003 announced the beginning of the "Suite Fibonacci." That XIII century Italian mathematician from which people retain the recurrent series of numbers which constitute themselves by the simple addition of the two preceding numbers and also because of the quotients between the two adjacent numbers all approaching the number 1.618, the famous "golden number." His current project is to continue working with numbers as long as it will bring meaning to his pictorial approach.
Charles Bezie adhered to the artistic traditions of Neo-Minimalism. Bézie has an intuitive relationship with numbers, they talk to him about human proportions and perfection, and about construction and painting, he interprets them within doing homage as he creates paintings using these series of numbers, like other artists paint landscapes.
