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.
