Eugène Eechaut (1928-2019) - Nude figures - diptych - framed - 32 x 23 cm

Eugène Eechaut (1928-2019)

Original and unique artwork

Framed and ready to be hung

Ink on paper

This pair of early works by Eugene Eechaut, created in ink on paper, forms a refined and intimate diptych centered on the female figure. Drawn with simple, confident lines, the compositions reduce the body to its essential contours, balancing delicacy with structure.

Each sheet stands on its own, yet together they create a cohesive set: two seated figures seen from different angles, echoing one another through posture, rhythm, and restraint. The minimal use of line highlights the artist’s precision and sensitivity to form, allowing the white space to become an active part of the image.

As in other works from this period, Eechau explores the space between observation and abstraction — the figure remains clearly present, yet simplified into a quiet, almost architectural arrangement of lines.

Both works are presented as a diptych, framed in simple frames with glass, ready to be hung and to bring a calm, elegant presence into a collection or interior.

The dimensions with a simple frame measure 32 × 23 cm

About the artist:

Eugène Eechaut (1928–2019) was a Belgian artist whose career evolved at the crossroads of imagination, technical discipline, and artistic dialogue. He began gaining recognition in 1958, when he received his first distinctions from the European Center for Art and Aesthetics. Early in his career, Eechaut became a member of the artist collective JECTA, an influential Belgian group that included René Magritte. His participation in this circle is confirmed by two surviving newspaper clippings documenting shared exhibitions and professional activity within the group.

Since the 1960s, Eugène Eechaut became a regular participant in exhibitions at the Tamara Pfeiffer Gallery in Brussels, a venue internationally recognized for presenting leading figures of modern and avant-garde art. A preserved invitation card from the 1968–1969 exhibition season confirms that Eechaut exhibited in the same gallery alongside major artists such as Max Ernst, Jean Cocteau, Paul Klee, Dorothea Tanning, Léon Navez, Dunoyer de Segonzac, and Félix Labisse. These archival materials clearly demonstrate that Eechaut shared exhibition space with some of the most influential artists of the twentieth century.

Over the course of his artistic life, Eechaut developed several distinctive and recognizable artistic styles, rather than adhering to a single visual language. His work is characterized by evolving color palettes and a strong sense of structure, combining elegance with expressive freedom. He gradually refined and mastered ink techniques, achieving a high level of precision and control that became a defining element of his artistic identity.

Despite consistent exhibition activity and professional recognition, Eechaut remained notably discreet and protective of his work, rarely offering pieces for sale—even within his own family. This personal approach has contributed to the rarity of his works on the market today. Supported by archival documents, exhibition invitations, and press records, Eugène Eechaut’s legacy emerges as that of a disciplined and original artist, firmly embedded in the European art scene and in direct dialogue with some of its most celebrated figures.
