Léopold Eeckhaut - Les Veilleurs

Léopold attends the lessons of Belgian artist Jo Delahaut, who supports his artistic desire and gives him his first solid foundations. He discovers his passion for painting and then studies charcoal and advertising at the Académie du Midi. There followed various painting trainings, notably at the Malou workshops but also in the studio of the artist Victoria Calleja.
If the sources of his inspiration are drawn from the repertoire of abstract artists’ works, his titles, for their part, bring us back to a certain reality: Mask, Panic, The Family, Curiosity, Moonlight… His art oscillates between abstract and figurative with surprising and bold mixtures of colors.
His works are populated with faces, characters, and geometric shapes that he often repeats as motifs in his paintings. The artist uses charcoal, greasy pastel, and acrylics, which he works in various ways: directly with the bottle’s nozzle, with the tip of a pencil, or more traditionally with a brush.
Léopold plays not only with colors but also with textures through this particular technique that is his own.
