ART WITHMOVEMENT

Acrobatic paintings by a former Cirque du Soleil acrobat.
No brush. One take.

NO
BRUSH.

Alejandro Sánchez Martín is a Spanish acrobat who performed with Cirque du Soleil. He paints with flips, handstands and falls: the paint is thrown, dragged and spun, and what stays on the canvas is the shape of the movement.

Every painting is the only physical record of a performance that happened once, in one city, and was filmed.
