Always playful, often inspirational, Ben Heine’s “PENCIL VS CAMERA” series merges reality and imagination. By overlaying black and white pencil sketches atop photographs, Heine is able to add a personal twist to each real-life setting. Inversely, with larger work, Heine inserts individuals, often himself, into the drawings.
This Brussels-based artist’s care to create cohesive alignments and perspectives within his images contributes to the convincing-ness of his visual narrations. Heine often includes his hand in each image, connecting the artist to the work, as well as the viewer. In one exhibition, Heine set a giant illustration, featuring himself snapping a picture, on the floor so that viewers could sit down and take their own photos of Heine’s self-portrait taking their portrait.
