Description from the seller
Christian Silvain's body of work shows a gradual evolution. His early paintings are inspired by Surrealism. Paintings of women in the Delvaux fashion are alternated with works that show affinity with Dalí. The unusual confrontation of very diverse visual components is also a classic surrealist trait that can be found in Silvain.
Over time, the highly developed illusionism in his work evolves into pure hyperrealism, in which the artist seeks the soul of naked reality.
The breakthrough came with his works that seek the creativity of psychiatric patients. His technique is blended: feeling and matter are closely tuned to one another.
This art book pays homage to the complete oeuvre of this artist. Marcel Van Jole is responsible for the text. More than 250 reproductions depict his work.
303 pages. Book in excellent condition. Linen hardcover with dust jacket (dust jacket with a few small creases along the top edges) Dimensions: 34 x 25.5 cm
