Bernard M. Deschler is an active sculptor and painter who speaks most eloquently of the anguish of the poor, needy and the spiritual. Born in Paris, France, Mr. Deschler began his studies with George Klein, a disciple of the impressionist Maurice Utrillo, when he devoted himself initially to drawing and painting. However after a visit to the stone quarries of Italy and exposure to the work of several influential contemporary sculptors Mr. Deschler turned to sculpture as the preferred medium. Temporarily interrupted by World War Two and the completion of his education in the arts and architecture Mr. Deschler completed many ecclesiastical and commercial structures in which his sculptures are incorporated as part of the design and the building.

The most original and compelling aspects of Bernard M. Deschler's sculptures and paintings are the passionate mysterious motifs and symbols that intentionally recall the beginnings of humanity's rise, fall and redemption. Mr. Deschler continues to express these reflections through a series of figurative metamorphoses.

These artworks motivated by Faith, Hope and Love are executed in a simple unique style of oil painting, forged and carved steel, castings of bronze from clay or plaster models to express the movement of body and soul; they cease to be hunks of pigment, clay, plaster, steel or bronze - THE SUBJECT IS REAL.
