Product description
Ink on paper, 1987-1988
Authentic pieces of art at an affordable price.
Two cohesive works by Eechaut, composed in stark black ink on paper, exploring the tension between precision and abstraction. Each piece consists of a dense interlocking matrix of geometric forms—rigid rectangles, narrow verticals, intersecting lines, and subtly varied opacities—arranged in a near-symmetrical rhythm. While entirely non-representational, the compositions evoke urban or architectural frameworks. Their mechanical regularity is offset by slight imperfections in line and fill, lending them a quiet, tactile humanity. These works speak to Eechaut’s recurring interest in structure, repetition, and the visual language of systems.
Since the 1960s, E. Eechaut exhibited alongside renowned artists such as René Magritte at the Tamara Pfeiffer Gallery in Brussels. Archival photographs and invitation cards confirm his participation in exhibitions alongside figures like Ambrogiani, Bricault, Jean Cocteau, Max Ernst, Hilaire, and Félicien Rops, among others.
Eechaut's artistic journey began gaining recognition in 1958 when he received his first distinctions from the "European Center for Art and Aesthetics." From 1968 onwards, he actively collaborated with the Tamara Pfeiffer Gallery, showcasing his work throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Initially categorized under "Fantastic Art," his style is distinguished by elegance and finesse. His captivating use of color not only enhances his subjects but also draws the viewer into their mysterious allure.
Throughout his career, Eechaut exhibited in some of Europe's most prestigious galleries and exhibitions, sharing space with celebrated artists such as Paul Klee, Dunoyer de Segonzac, and Léon Navez. Despite his success, he was known for his reluctance to sell his work—even to his own family—jealously guarding his creations. This exclusivity has contributed to the scarcity of information and the limited availability of his pieces on the market.
Eechaut developed several distinctive artistic styles, including unique ink techniques and a recognizable color palette. His work with collages became an integral part of his creative expression, further establishing his signature aesthetic. Each of his pieces is marked by his authentic artist's stamp, a testament to his originality and craftsmanship.
The recent discovery of his long-hidden studio has unveiled an extensive collection of his works and archives, offering a fresh perspective on his artistic legacy. With growing interest and increasing market value, investing in Eechaut's art presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of extraordinary artistic heritage.
