Art Restorer Calls His Subjects Aristochiens And Aristochats
For this artist, he is able to paint an ordinary pug that looks closely like Winston Churchill, with the high collar, necktie and waistcoat. To the public this is called anthropomorphic art. Those old paintings that can be found in European ancestral homes or galleries can be restored by this artist as this is his talent.
For originality, this artist then takes the painting and places an animal's face over it. For this Belgian artist who used to be an art restores, his works can be called aristochiens and aristocrats. The animals in his artworks look closely like one of those dignified Englishmen with their powdered wigs and clothes.
He blends pigments and brush strokes so carefully that it is impossible to separate the original portrait from the artist's added touches. They look uncannily like real ancestral portraits, but then again, so many people's ancestors do look like dogs. This kind of idea might not sit so well with the president of the American Society.
In New York, a piece from the artist was auctioned off recently. In an art gallery containing club chairs, tartan couches leather bound books and Sloan ranger's bibelots was where the 27 piece collection of this artist was exhibited. It was neatly conducive for the debut of his pieces.
In a telephone interview from Brussels where he lives, the artist said that he likes to keep his paintings distinguished and discreet. Poetic would be the world he would use to describe his paintings. According to the artist his works have been purchases usually by people who are on the top of what they do be in by blood of in industry, they are those that have a big sense of humor.
It also appears that his work was avidly patronized by royalty and the aristocrats of Europe. Most of the crowned heads of Europe have bought them, and people with ancestral portraits of their own, which sprinkle the aristochiens in among them, who also sells the artist's works in her gallery in London. It's amazing, but these dogs are quite the chic in thing.
He combs flea markets, antique shops and private homes for portraits to restore, then matches dog to subject. A German shorthaired pointer, his muzzle turned haughtily upward, looks the part of a French officer at the battle of Alma in a blue dress uniform with gold epaulettes, sword and an array of medals. Notably some of the portraits that this artist has already restored come with family crests. The artist discreetly paints out the tell tale insignia, and sometimes substitutes tiny dog bones.
The face of his long gone dog even graced one of his paintings of the matrons in the 19th century. It is inevitable not to have haters as now people think this artist is disrespecting many ancestral portraits. Yet to him dogs help put people in their right place and they have earned the right to be in his work. Dogs never disappoint you they appreciate you even if you are ugly and stupid. Moreover, the artist says that a dog has many positive qualities.
At times this artist will charge around $5,000 to $8,000 for is work. It is said by a professor of art history at the local university that this art form is not a new thing. She cited examples of it in the etchings of two famous painters as 18th and 19th century graphic artists and satirists.
