For this artist, he is able to paint an ordinary pug that looks closely like Winston Churchill, with the high collar, necktie and waistcoat. Some call it anthropomorphic art. This artist painstakingly restores gilt framed 18th and 19th century ancestral portraits, the kind of dour oil paintings usually found lining the staircases of England's statelier homes, inside men's private clubs and, in America, in shops that cater to aspiring Windsor's.
A dog's face would maybe then take the place of a human face in the paintings of this artist. This Belgian artist who was formerly an art restorer calls his works as aristochiens and aristocrats. The talent that this artist exudes makes his pieces look really believable and realistic.
Due to the overflowing talent this person has he can make additions to an original piece and no one will even know the different. His pieces all look every real and like they have not been touched even if in reality he had already added his special touches. An idea like this would not be one that the president of the American Society might like to hear.
It was just in New York that the animal society headed an auction where this work of this artist was auctioned off for fundraising. Also, the artists was able to show people his work as he opened his exhibit at a gallery which has adorable club chairs, tartan couches leather bound books and Sloan rangers' bibelots. The setting was really in line for the work he had to show the people.
From an interview it was known that the artist just likes keeping his work different and subtly. His paints are not really that hard to understand to him they are merely poetic. The artist has also begun to notice that the people who typically enjoy purchasing his work are those that are first in their field or those who have a good sense of humor.
The royals and the aristocrats of Europe are mostly the ones who give worth to his works. The majorities of people who purchase his artwork are those in royalty or have portrait collections. Many now have appreciation of this kind of artwork.
This artist will go to many flea markets, antique shops and private homes so as to look for good pieces that he restore and then recreate. 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. Sometimes the pieces that this artist gets even come with family crests. Unknowingly the artist will cover up the symbol with sometimes tiny dog bones.
Since the death of his dog, this artist now uses its face as part of his paintings. There is a certain degree of blasphemy according to some with how this person paints his work. Nevertheless, the artist still feels that dogs are also important and have to be given credit for how they help us. Dogs are pretty much appreciative of you no matter how you look like. The artist also feels that there is more to a dog then meets the eye.
The amount that one would need to get his work is about $5,000 to $8,000. A professor of art history at the local university claims that this way of doing art has already been discovered. Apparently two famous painters as 18th and 19th century graphic artists and satirists have already works similar to this.
