Living Art
THE (FRENCH) TOUCH OF MAGIC TO YOUR INTERIOR DESIGN
EASY - ELEGANT - UNIQUE
Living Art is a very unique way to bring any painting to life developed by Westby and Mercier.
The concept, originally created for the Chantal Westby paintings only, is now available for anyone who wants to bring its paintings to life and give a new dimension to their favorite pieces of art without any alteration or risk of damage to the original.
“My work is not to bring something new to an artpiece. My work is to try to translate the movement the artist had in his mind while creating the painting, onto the painting itself thanks to the video mapping technology. That’s why I would never add something that is not originally on the artwork in my animation.”
Lénaïc G. Mercier, Multimedia artist
We offer you four solutions to bring your art to life.
THE
ANIMATED
PAINTING
The animation is projected directly onto the real painting hanged on a wall.
THE
LIVING
WALL
The animation is projected all around the real painting on the wall where it’s mounted and also onto the painting itself if desired.
THE
LIVING
WALL
FRAMED VERSION
The animation is projected around the real
painting on the wall where it’s mounted inside a frame and also onto the painting itself if desired.
THE
DIGITAL
WALL
An animation inspired by any kind of artpiece (painting, photograph, sculpture...)
is projected on a wall.
TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS
For our fully custom installations, we usually use three different types of projectors and two types of mounting (ceilling or wall).
The choice will be determined by either the size of your room and the heigh of your ceiling.
For a full experience, the use of an ultra short throw lens distance projector is preferable.
Thanks to its technology, it can be placed at a very short distance of the painting which limits the risk of shadow projections.
BUY... OR RENT!
Depending of your needs, we can offer a rental solution for a full installation of a Living Art piece.
Perfect to impress your clients and friends in your home, a showroom, a restaurant, a medical center, a clinic, a hotel, a shop...
From one day to 12 months, we have a very large catalog of Chantal Westby’s artpieces of every size available on demand.
