Schuiten & Obolensky: Trains

Schuiten & Obolensky Trains

Schuiten & Obolensky: Trains is an exposition that was held in the Huberty & Breyne Gallery in Brussels from September 12 until October 18, 2015 1). A cartoonist, a painter, and a deep passion for everything to do with trains and railways… This exhibition brings together the two worlds of François Schuiten (the cartoonist) and Alexandre Obolensky (the painter).

For more than 22 years Alexandre Obolensky has collaborated on the projects and exhibits of François Schuiten (including Aichi, the trans‐Siberian Railway, Amiens, and the murals at Ixelles and Ottignies‐Louvain‐la‐Neuve).

François Schuiten has an abiding love for this theme and presents for us here a moving story where friendship and talent encounter each other.

This entire exhibition is based on a conversation between two companions, by way of a teaser‐exhibit inlay which brings them together with the world of railways, with TrainWorld, the TrainHostel, and many other ongoing projects.

The Huberty‐Breyne Gallery exhibited original works by François Schuiten, including silk‐screens, designs, and preliminary drawings, side‐by‐side with the monumental paintings of Alexandre Obolensky, but also – and especially – artworks which have been created by four hands. To celebrate this unique occasion, a special exhibition catalogue was published;

François Schuiten and Alexander Obolensky, friends for over 20 years, show their view on the train universe through new artwork. Paintings by fours hands, serigraphs and drawings by François Schuiten mingle with paintings by Alexander Obolensky, showing the common attraction of the railways.
