Magic City Dresden/Munich - Ben Heine Art

Artist Ben Heine at Street Art show Magic City (2016) - Drawing and Painting - #magiccitylife Dresden

Belgian Artist Ben Heine was among the 40 international artists who participated in the street art show "Magic City" that started in Dresden, Germany, in October 2016. The mural Ben made is titled "Urban Exploration". He combined creative figurative drawing and abstract painting. The giant drawing shows elements about city and city life. There are 2 fashion mannequins in front of the painting with patterns similar to those in the background which makes them look almost invisible when seen from a specific point of view (Flesh and Acrylic). The exhibition goes on in Dresden until January 2017 then moves to other cities.


L'artiste belge Ben Heine était parmi les 40 artistes internationaux à participer à l'exposition de street art "Magic City" qui a ouvert ses portes à Dresde en Allemagne en Octobre 2016. La fresque que Ben a réalisée s'intitule "Exploration Urbaine". Il y combine le dessin créatif figuratif et la peinture abstraite. Le dessin géant porte sur des thématiques urbaines. Il y a deux mannequins devant la peinture avec des motifs similaires à ceux de la fresque ce qui les rend presque invisibles quand ils sont vus sous un certain angle (Flesh and Acrylic).

In Flesh and Acrylic, Heine creates abstract acrylic paintings on large wooden panels. A living person is integrated in the artwork and is part of the whole abstract composition.

When the painting is complete, the model seems to have completely evaporated. The end result is often very colorful, intuitive, wild and eye-catching. There is something choreographic about Flesh And Acrylic.

Flesh and Acrylic by Ben Heine (From 2012 Documentary)



This is a Flesh and Acrylic project Ben Heine made in 2011 for a documentary filmed by Italian director Davide Gentile. Model: Caroline Madison

In Flesh and Acrylic, Heine creates abstract acrylic paintings on large wooden panels. A living person is integrated in the artwork and is part of the whole abstract composition. The end result is often very colorful, intuitive, wild and eye-catching. There is something choreographic about Flesh And Acrylic. When the painting is complete, the model seems to have completely evaporated. Each piece involves Heine coating human life with acrylic paint to match large wooden backdrops, whether these backdrops are decorated with colorful stripes, maniacal splatters, abstract speckles and swirls, or more ordered doodles. It usually takes Heine between 1 and 3 hours to complete such works (source).

Flesh and Acrylic and Exhibition at Harbour City, Hong Kong



In 2015, Ben Heine delivered a "Flesh and Acrylic" impromptu simulating the movement of chocolate fluid to match with the theme of his solo exhibition "From Cocoa to Chocolate, taking you through the Journey of Love" at Harbour City, Hong Kong's largest shopping mall (view some photos of his exhibition in Hong Kong here). Heine also created 7 Pencil Vs Camera artworks using some of Hong Kong's most  famous landmarks. The exhibition happened in the frame of Hong Kong’s famous Chocolate Trail. For this event, Heine collaborated with the well known Chocolate brand Galler. The Belgian Embassy in Hong Kong supported Heine's show. More info about the Flesh and Acrylic concept.

This is a quick Flesh and Acrylic demo I made for the Catalan public television "TV3" (in Spain). The work in progress was filmed and the video report was broadcasted the 25th of November 2011 along with a short documentary about Art and Surrealism in Belgium. As always in "Flesh and Acrylic", I worked in a wild and intuitive way. Model: Julia. She is a journalist and a model in her spare time...I left the newspapers in the background on purpose.

Very messy, I know. This is where I paint and create all kind of stuff. This studio is located in Braives, Belgium. The above photos have been shot with the Samsung NX11, provided by Samsung Electronics. Co., Ltd.
