Performance, Live Painting Hommage to a Great Woman | Franck Bouroullec | TEDxLausanneWomen

Painting ‘live’ and exposing his workshop creations to the public eye is a way of telling a story. In front of the TEDxLausanneWomen he honors a great woman in history.
Franc Bouroullec is a Switzerland-based artist who has for the past 20 years sought, through the simple stroke of his paintbrush, to purify the subject of his paintings in a quest to touch upon their very essence. This world-renowned artist is regularly coveted across a variety of industries, including fashion (creating t-shirts for Tommy Hilfiger), painting promotional previews for internationally acclaimed films (such as Love Actually and Quantum of Solace), painting ‘live’ at events (ranging from royal birthdays to global events), to name but a few. Today, exposing his workshop creations to the public eye is a way of telling a story. At the same time Franck Bouroullec continues to explore other art forms to ensure that his association with a specific technique does not limit the workings of his imagination.

Hilarious how people are giving their verdict as though they have the artistic capacity to criticize this man. Marvelous performance👏🏼

@@xxbeholderxx are you the judge of art?

[@nathanbedfordforrest9546]

It’s not judging art if it’s not art to begin with.

[@mustardseed308]

[@javarjav7523]

I ThOUGHT He Was Mad

[@nubianprincess9982]

Not sure the aim of it but it was not a wow moment for me. I guess it's because I was able to figure out what he was painting. He is talented though.

[@eyosiet9009]

[@elacademy6289]

I dont consider myself any good artist but still I know when to say 'WOW'... It wasnt even close to that... I just saw a person trying to jump here and there for doing something... SORRY !

[@Americandevilsound]

[@WhyDoYouPlayShub]

Who think it is best go and watch vilasnayak thank me later

[@paulvanappeven3340]

Wrong soundtrack mus be “ jump around, jump around , jump up, jump up and get down. 👍🏻

[@DubyaDean]

Title says 'Hommage to a Great Woman', but it's just a picture of the queen. Was expecting a deserving portrait of some interesting female role model or something.

[@20yearsago88]

Why is he dressed like he just escaped the nuthouse??

[@elianamarinari5195]

I am very sorry that they chose a man to perform for TEDxLausanneWomen

[@usselpasoable]

turn off the music and see it as nothing.

[@atharvasagavekar5778]

You people should accept that painting art is not that powerful art and not a part of business

[@romemiller1504]

Not That Impressive !!!...I remember first seeing this type of art performance in the early 80's when after awhile the painting would be flipped over to reveal the subject . The performances i saw were with the artists using their hands as the brushes and " totally " engulfing themselves into the canvas . For the audience to respond like that just goes to show you how easily we are entertained in todays Pop Culture !

[@merakiakademy6111]

Go do better yourself!!!

[@adorabrands]

Do better … maybe even try this

[@nathanbedfordforrest9546]

Better would be anything but this.

[@marekgaramond4198]

[@sigalron4571]

This is not art!

[@albericlajarte6849]

why not ?

[@yvanmaynard4063]

Sigal Ron, This is ART !

[@waltersach6679]

did you even watch it by the end?

[@basseyndon]

Then what is it?

[@leenhares]

Art is not only about create landscapes. Art is expression.

[@kattrakee]

Of course it wouldn’t be so spectacular but maybe if he put his paint supplies up on the table he wouldn’t have to bend over so much ad use so much energy dancing around trying to Impress the audience,gathering up his tools of the trade 🙄

[@kattrakee]

Oh whooopppeee !! I see he’s got it on a spinning wheel, what a crowdpleaser😳And he can swipe the canvasWith numerous paint brushes in both hands oh I may faint with astonishment💩

[@kattrakee]

My my ; it is starting to look like an elderly queen ,Gee, I wonder who it could be ?😒 slap on a little paint, find a big canvas to put it on; make a vague outline, turn around and Wait for your cookies, you did a good job little boy with your piddling with paint😠

[@wendywinn270]

It was more like an act.. Sooo dramatic.. For that.??? Ohh please, there's lot of people out there with talent... That was not it.

[@haadshakeel5577]

his attitude is not a professional, how he is jumping. its not cool way of some professional and respected work.

[@mattworldly3286]

THAT WAS LAME LOL.

[@VarunKidsArt]

Very nice
