Description
Christian SILVAIN (1950) Before We Forget Oil on canvas and wooden assemblage Signed lower left 120 x 120 cm Provenance: Galerie Martine Ehmer An internationally renowned Belgian visual artist, Christian Silvain has created a unique body of work, exhibited in the world’s leading museums. A self-taught artist with a prolific career, deeply shaped by a solitary childhood, he has developed a visual universe of immense poetry, at once tender and melancholic. His work, which straddles the line between figurative art and art brut, is renowned for its compositions in panels or grids, reminiscent of collectors’ display cases or graffiti on the walls of childhood. Through his signature motifs (vintage toys, birds, cages, hearts and handwritten script), Silvain explores memory, confinement and lost innocence. Using painting, drawing and collage with a raw sensitivity, he produces captivating works that act as mirrors of our own nostalgia and childhood dreams.
