ERIC CECCARINI
A meeting between a painter, a model and the photographer…
Extensive, both in time and scope; The Painters Project is an ongoing collection of collaborations with painters to whom Eric offers as a canvas some of the very best models he has enjoyed working with during his career.
For a number of these artists the project offers them a step in the dark, an escape into unknown territory. They must settle into a new environment with unfamiliar light, unusual shadows and highlights and a canvas that is not only three dimensional but alive, breathing and sentient. Movements and poses influence their strokes, they must discover, adapt and ultimately tame this canvas with their brush. Together, the body and the art become one to achieve the sublime.
To blend the often distinct viewpoints of different disciplines and work together; to mix various instruments, tools and angles is an uncommon, yet extremely rewarding and exciting approach, but also contrary to the eternal solitude of the artist, a commonly echoed mantra in the art sphere.
This unorthodox partnership gives birth to wonderful and often surprising creations. Magic succeeds when the ephemeral and volatile nature of paint on the human skin is forever captured through the lens and immortalised onto the image.
More than hundred meetings have already taken place with artists from the UK, Uruguay, Mauritius, Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, the US, China, Venezuela, Russia and many other countries all across the globe.
A truly timeless and borderless artwork is born.The Artist
CHRISTOPHE DE FIERLANT
Painter - Poet
Christophe de Fierlant is a Belgian painter and poet.
He has been painting and writing poems since he was 17.
After studying Art History, he had the idea of creating a bridge between his two art forms.
In his paintings, which have been growing in size lately, and which could be described as abstract expressionist, his poems are the backbone.
He creates his own world where colors, movements and words provide emotions that never leave you indifferent.
Besides, he thinks that color (given that white and black are colors) is the most important thing in art.Tristans Gallery are delighted to welcome Eric and Christophe to our gallery of international outstanding artists
