Description

Luc Schuiten. Original work realized with felt pen and gouache, exclusively in favor of the operation "One tent one life". Signed. 235 x 77 cm Luc Schuiten is a Belgian architect, born in 1944 in Brussels. He was trained, like his father Robert Schuiten, at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, from which he graduated in 1967. He is also a comic book writer, in collaboration with his brother, the cartoonist François Schuiten. His father, Robert Schuiten, was a Belgian architect active in the 1950s and 1960s. Both architect and cartoonist, Luc Schuiten's thinking aims to integrate "urbanism, ecology, science and science fiction." From 1980 to 1987, he was a lecturer at the Victor Horta Institute in Brussels. In 1987, he left the teaching of architecture to devote himself solely to his architectural firm Schuiten sprl. He is also the president of the association Vegetal City and a founding member of Biomimicry Europa and the association Archi Human. He has set up various projects to house homeless people in Brussels. His first construction is the small house "Orejona" that he built himself in the woods in 1977, in Overijse, near Brussels. The frame of the house is an A-frame structure, with a small overhang in the form of a glass roof. On the roofs, first generation solar collectors provided the heating. A canopy allowed a view of the sky. During the 1980s, he continued his reflection on urbanism and architecture in Les Terres creuses, a series of comic strips produced with his brother François Schuiten. Interested in an organic city and bio-inspiration, he is convinced of the obsolescence of the urban model modeled on the machine and is passionate about archiborescence, a term that designates "an architecture using mainly for building materials all forms of living organisms or organisms inspired by the living." In 2014, he created the association Archi Human whose goal is to promote social reintegration through housing. In Brussels and its suburbs, he wants to develop studios by integrating ecological materials and energy sobriety for the benefit of the homeless. The ORIG-AMI is a cardboard shelter measuring 117 x 235 x 150 cm. It is insulating, protective, foldable like an accordion, transportable like a backpack and recyclable. The homeless shelter was designed on the principle of origami, a Japanese technique of paper folding.

Schuiten/Original drawing symbolically illustrating a hand held back by barbed wire that manages to get through a wall... a powerful work created for the French newspaper Libération in January 2008 about the situation in Gaza, which is unfortunately still relevant today. India ink, watercolor and grease pencil. Signed. TBE+. Pass included: 58 X 45 cm François Schuiten (1956) was just 16 when his drawings were published for the first time: "Mutation", a short story drawn entirely in bic, appeared in the Belgian edition of Pilote. At the Institut Saint-Luc comics workshop, he met Claude Renard, with whom he produced two albums: Aux médianes de Cymbiola and Le Rail, published by Casterman under the title Métamorphoses. Over the years, he and his brother Luc developed the "Terres creuses" cycle in Métal Hurlant. Since 1982, he has been working with his childhood friend Benoît Peeters on the "Les Cités obscures" series. These albums have been translated into ten languages and won numerous awards. It remains considered one of the major series of recent decades. The album La Fièvre d'Urbicande won the Best Album award at the Angoulême Festival in 1985. In 2002, François Schuiten was awarded the Grand Prix de la Ville d'Angoulême, the ultimate accolade for any cartoonist. He has designed a dozen stamps for the Belgian postal service. He has also designed countless posters, illustrations, serigraphs and lithographs. In 2019, he produced a new album of the adventures of Blake and Mortimer for Dargaud, but on the bangs of the series. A special edition in a style completely different from that of Edgar P. Jacobs, one of his great masters. A Blake et Mortimer à la Schuiten, with the help of Thomas Gunzig on the script (and to a lesser extent Jaco Van Dormael) and the Durieux brothers for their graphic contributions and coloring. In parallel with this project, François Schuiten is part of the ScanPyramids mission led by engineer Mehdi Tayoubi. This is a scientific expedition to Egypt where archaeologists and other specialists descend to the center of Khéops to unravel the mystery of the largest of the pyramids, the only vestige of the Seven Wonders of the World.
