Description
Christian SILVAIN (1950) Les guérissures. 2015 Oil on canvas Signed and dated lower left 50 x 50 cm Provenance: Galerie Martine Ehmer An internationally renowned Belgian visual artist, Christian Silvain has built up 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 a child’s room. 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.
