AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

ERIC LESPINASSE’s Unique Artwork - 1/1 - Exclusive on Catawiki
Title of the work: #1 - Human Forges - XXL
Giclée on canvas - from the 2026 series "Human Forges".
Original canvas from the artist’s studio by Eric Lespinasse.

Elegance, modernity and high quality are the words that best define the finish of this piece.

Presentation of the Work:
This series of digital paintings explores the power and beauty of the male form through a dramatic pictorial treatment inspired by Caravaggian chiaroscuro. The radical use of absolute black as a background creates a theater of shadows where sculpted bodies emerge in incandescent orange light, almost volcanic. Each composition celebrates the human anatomy as a living sculpture, revealing through the play of light the muscular tension and inner strength. The restricted palette — deep blacks and flamboyant oranges — evokes simultaneously the forge, primitive fire, and a minimalist contemporary aesthetic. This chromatic duality creates an intense atmosphere, blending meditative contemplation with raw energy, where the body becomes landscape and monument.

Destination:
Whether you are a private individual, a professional, a collector or a connoisseur, this work is for you. You are ready to add a wonderful accent to your interior, your office, waiting room or restaurant, with a timeless and unique piece that will surely brighten any of your surroundings. Bring your walls to life!

Details of the Work:
Framed-less margin on fine art canvas 350 g/m² (high-quality poly-cotton blend) – latex inks, no frame and no chassis. As this is an XXL canvas, it should be viewed from a distance; the print resolution is 300 DPI to ensure optimal reading of the work at around 1.5 m (not as a close-up like a photo print).
Dimensions: 90 x 160 cm.
Year of production: 2026
Unique Work 1/1 numbered and hand-signed by the artist on the back of the work.
Shipped with a certificate of authenticity (COA)
New / No Frame / Unframed.
A 3 cm peripheral white margin is added to the dimensions of the work, giving the buyer the option to mount it on a wooden frame.

Technique Used & Creative Process:
The artist mainly uses the Adobe suite (Illustrator – Photoshop – Lightroom) to create the base of the work. Generative AI tools, such as Midjourney, can be used to modify certain textures, backgrounds, integrations into a scene, etc…).
A specific tool, “Megapixel,” an artificial intelligence, is systematically used for upscaling, enabling editing of large XXL formats.

Delivery Information (read carefully before bidding):
Your Canvas will be shipped rolled in a suitably sized cardboard tube.
I no longer offer group shipping services as all artworks are individually packaged prior to sale to deliver to collectors/buyers within the timeframe set by Catawiki.
Depending on your country of residence, all our domestic and international shipments will be sent either by CHRONOPOST or UPS. Custom duties specific to your country remain the sole responsibility of the buyer. Customs clearance services, in addition to duties, taxes, VAT, and other applicable taxes, may be charged on delivery.
If you change your mind after purchase, we will, without issue, find a solution that suits you. Please let me know as soon as possible via private message. Otherwise, return shipping costs will be borne by the buyer.

Seller's Story

Born in 1974, Eric Lespinasse is an established French artist based in Paris. His work can be found in numerous private collections around the world, as well as in a multitude of professional premises (restaurants, medical practices, cinemas, real estate agencies, kitchen shops, tattoo parlors, etc.). A photographer for 25 years, he is also a painter and digital designer. His works are known for their character, where the incidence of light makes them almost painterly. They are a skilful blend of poetry and homage to the world and the human being. His technique is a combination of traditional photography and digital image editing. This combination enables her to create unique, emotionally engaging works of art that faithfully represent her vision, influences and sensitivity. The role of any photographer is to capture and deliver to the public an emotional panel of each moment he captures. This is how he came to create "photographic poetry", where each of his delicate, poetic images projects you into the art and culture of the ephemeral world around us, frozen for eternity, transforming the evanescent moment into a timeless work of witness. It's with this same sensitivity and heart that he invests each of his creations, in all artistic fields, from photography to the creation of digital works.
