The New Glasses, 8.5 x 10.5 by Christophe Vacher

Another random oil portrait. This one was based on one of the innumerable pictures I have taken at a Renaissance Faire Medieval Festival over the years.
These places provide endless very unique references for people’s expressions while wearing costumes.

His works has been part of various collections in Europe and the United States. The style of Christophe’s personal imagery has multiple influences; from old painting schools like the Hudson River, The American Realists, The great American Illustrators, The Romantics and the European Symbolists for their grandiose, theatrical scenery, to more contemporary artists like  Sandorfi, Beksinski, Ugarte and The Visionaries (Les Visionnaires) in France.

Travel and music are a large part of his inspiration.
