Beau Bernier Frank

The monochromatic color palette of his figures, their striking physical features, and tailored style all contribute to defining the overall editorial identity of the collection. The cohesive assembly of portraits are carefully designed with a strong attention to detail, composed with a lookbook appeal and executed in a tactical, graphic designer kind of way. Their gazes offer insight into their personalities and reveal an air of disconnectedness with an undercurrent of nostalgia––in other words, they seek to escape their reality, and to travel to those distant places painted across their faces. The various landscapes and dream-like destinations introduce bold colors and intertwine with the model’s identity. Beau's paintings convey a feeling of wanderlust, all while staying true to his taste for simplicity, sophisticated style, limitless traveling, and creative thinking.

2019 Collection

What if thoughts, ideas and emotions could be seen externally?

Rising up into the ether collecting and condensing, shifting shapes and colors, bouncing off one another, fusing with each other and expanding until they are ready to come down like a hard rain. These objects come and go, passing through the subject, manifesting through Beau’s aggressive palette knife-work, turpentine diluted pour-overs, and intuitive brush work. Letting go of the need for perfection and concrete reality has paved the way for a new chapter to begin. A metamorphosis has begun.

"Las Mezcalilleras" are the women who've helped in the cultivation, distillation, and traditions of mezcal production. 

This series was designed to be featured on the walls of the fine-dining establishment Cultura in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, for guests to appreciate as they feast on latin american influenced cuisine. Each of these women tell a unique story and carry with delicacy, a different species of agave which personify and represent the women of Mezcal.

"Las Mezcalilleras" is available for viewing at

2012-2015 Design work created with the intention of having them be used on apparel/boards/skin. I envisioned these psychedelic pieces shredding up sidewalks on the bottoms of skateboards, printed all over tank tops and tees and maybe even on someone's arm as a tattoo.
