Presentation
Nicolas Binsfeld became a master in figurative art. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts Charleroi, this artist touches a little to all styles before arriving at the universe of Renaissance painters. Illustrator for the Revue universitaire de Genève, he even touched comics in 1995 with "Jimena" (Aire Libre). Completely done in oil painting, this work consists of 256 paintings.
Influenced by poetry, science, death, life, women, his works are confined to fantasy. They are called "flying machines" or "androcephalic sarcophagi". Listed in the dictionaries of Belgian painters, Nicolas Binsfeld was recently the subject of a monograph, entitled "Binsfeld", published by Art in Belgium.
Born in Wiltz, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in 1945, Nicolas Binsfeld had already exhibited in many places in Europe and showed various successive moves. Impressionism, German expression, abstraction in the memory of Nicolas de Stael, return to figuration with a little extra temptation on the side of Francis Bacon ...
He gave to the feminine presence, evoked with precision and discretion, a preponderant place in his work. A skilled and sensitive designer, a colourist of very good taste, he will seduce by the exceptional behavior of his approach in a field where complacency or provocative realism are also badly felt by the amateur. His painting is very fluid and the delicate line is often lost in a kind of good company fog that, veiling certain parts of the body, reduces attitudes to quick but sufficient indications. This elegant figuration is often expressed "between waist and chin", the rest being simply retracted or embedded in a light smear.
Such an art, made especially of sensations, is difficult to describe. If the artist does not hide his adherence to the human form, he admits his attraction to the ambiguity that creates his frequent use of a kind of glittering light. A very skilful draftsman, he does not intend to be a prisoner of his gifts and frequently restricts his impulses, stopping on his momentum, giving his works an impression of sketching, voluntary incompleteness, and sometimes even putting out of play. of a limb or even of the face, the chosen pose then explaining this illusion of amputation. The color is refined, favoring the shades of slate, golden rose, white, black and rust.
