To this artist it was easy to create an image of an animal dressed in clothes that a person would wear. To the public this is called anthropomorphic art. Due to the immense talent that this artist has, he is able to restore 18th and 19th century paintings that can be found in men's private clubs and even old ancestral homes.
This kind of artist replaces human faces with animals in his paintings. An art restorer when he began, this Belgian artist refers to his works as aristochiens and aristocrats. For this artist the way he creates dogs and cats into portraying humans are really amazing and fits well to his whole concept.
There really is no evident different one this person begins to add his magic touches to original art pieces. His works really do look like the original kind. This kind of idea might not sit so well with the president of the American Society.
A piece from the artist was, not long ago, part of the animal society's auction in New York for a fundraising event. It was also opened to the public, his portraits with 27 pieces at an art gallery that had club chairs, tartan couches leather bound books and Sloan ranger's bibelots. The gallery gave the collection a good vibe for the viewers.
In a telephone interview from Brussels where he lives, the artist said that he likes to keep his paintings distinguished and discreet. His paints are not really that hard to understand to him they are merely poetic. 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.
The royals and the aristocrats of Europe are mostly the ones who give worth to his works. It is the royals who have them hanging on their walls or even those that have ancestral painting of their own include this artist's aristochiens in their collection. People will be amazed to see how these paintings are now beginning to be appreciated by many.
He combs flea markets, antique shops and private homes for portraits to restore, then matches dog to subject. It seems that this German pointer embodies one of those French officers 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 artist was even able to keep the face of his dog alive as he used this to paint into one of these pictures. There are also a couple of people who do not agree with what he is doing. The artist value dogs a lot hence they inspire and are part of this work. For him, dogs are a man's best friend and will always be there for you. For the artist dogs have good qualities that have other rewards.
His portraits cost from $5,000 to $8,000. A professor of art history at the local university noted that anthropomorphic art is not new. She cited examples of it in the etchings of two famous painters as 18th and 19th century graphic artists and satirists.
