Manu Grinspan, artist
When the pencil goes beyond the paper. Gun, Féline and Kiss, from Interspace.
Féline
A Multi-Phase Edition from Interspace. Walk past her and she turns, the way the print does on a wall.

A sheet of ribbed glass stands between you and her. Lines break, contours shift. She stays close, and out of reach.

From pencil to light
Every image begins on paper, by hand, with a pencil. Then come light, colour, glass and machine.
Art lives in the space between what we see and what we dream.
Films
The glass begins to move, and the stills become stories. Films by Manu Grinspan.
Every image begins as a pencil drawing.
Manu Grinspan is a Belgian artist who works in three languages: music, photography and drawing. A piano prodigy at six, he learned rhythm and silence before he learned to frame an image. The camera taught him light, the pencil taught him patience. In every series he looks for the same moment, where light, shadow and emotion meet.
His 1STREET photographs travelled the world through the press. Élite and ArtiFacial brought his drawings into dialogue with artificial intelligence. With Interspace he places a sheet of glass between the image and you.
His editions are published by LUMAS.
