Product description
Ink on paper
Hand signed. 1975.
This artwork bears strong elements of Surrealism, blending dreamlike imagery with abstract forms. The artist skillfully juxtaposes fragmented female figures with organic roots, merging natural and human forms in a way that evokes both growth and decay. The abstracted lines and shadows around the figure create an ethereal, almost subconscious realm where objects and bodies dissolve and morph into one another, characteristic of the surrealist exploration of the unconscious. This fusion of linear precision with fluid ink textures enhances the surreal ambiance, challenging the viewer’s perception and inviting them into a realm that exists beyond logic.
Eugène Eechaut 1928-2019
Since the 1960s, he has exhibited alongside Magritte at the Pfeiffer Gallery in Brussels. And several photos show them together. He exhibited at the Tamara Pfeiffer Gallery in 1969 with, for example: Ambrogiani, Bricault, Jean Cocteau, G de Pauw, De Muylder, Max Ernst, Hilaire, Jamotte, Felicien Robs, etc... as evidenced by the invitation card included in the photos.
In 1958 E. Eechaut received his first distinctions as a painter at the "European Center for Art and Aesthetics." From 1968, he participated and organized with "the Tamara Pfeiffer Gallery" and during the 1960s and 1970s. His style, which will initially be called "FANTASTIC" art with elegance and finesse in his interpretations. His colors, which instantly seduce us, reveal the subject, a subject that ultimately captivates us. Throughout his career, E. Eechaut rubbed shoulders with and exhibited in the greatest galleries and art exhibitions in Europe. In catalogs and invitations, we find artists such as Jean Cocteau, René Magritte, Dunoyer de Segonzac, Léon Navez, Félicien Rops, Paul Klee, and many others. E. Eechaut, a wealthy man for whom the sale of his works was impossible, even within his own family. He jealously guarded his production, hence the lack of information and the lack of sales results for his work.
His recently rediscovered studio opens the doors to his numerous works in their entirety. The archives of his career were found at the same time as his work, giving it another dimension.
