Jan Scheirs Live Art

Let’s be honest, Beyond Darklands wouldn’t be the same without Jan Scheirs. As a staple of our event, he takes live drawing to an entirely new level. His work captures raw emotion and untold stories through bold strokes and his signature dynamic energy,  blurring the lines between realism and abstraction.

Scheirs possesses a rare gift for making the invisible visible – forcrafting not just an image, but a soul perfectly embodying the essence of our fetish world. The power of humanity and its unpolished beauty are recurring themes that shine through Scheirs’ art, making his work instantly recognisable and unforgettable.

Live drawing sessions

At Beyond Darklands, Jan now offers you the chance to become part of his art. He creates live drawings that capture the moment on premium watercolour paper, enhanced with aquarelle pencils and Chinese ink. Whether you like a portrait, a full-body gear look or even something nude… anything is possible! The texture of latex, leather and other materials will be brought to life in his work turning each piece into a unique reflection of its subject.

Each session takes around 30 minutes with approximately 20 minutes of posing. Want to share this intimate moment with your partner? You can.

The result is more than just art, it’s a memory captured in a way that’s discreet, personal and timeless. Pre-book your session on darklands.com for € 175 and secure your spot in Scheirs’ packed schedule.

Feeling spontaneous? If there is still a spot available, you can also book a session during the Beypnd Darklands fair for € 195.

And if you’d rather not carry your artwork around, Jan’s team offers an exclusive delivery service within Antwerp’s ring road. Your drawing will be delivered directly to your hotel’s front desk safely and without being crumpled in a locker. Now that’s practical!

Scheirs’ stand at Beyond Darklands has an authentic feel, adorned with his bold paintings and a large banner –  hard to miss and  perfect  for an amazing photo opportunity. Think about Antwerp’s well-known cranes, reimagined with an edgy vibe that captures the world of Beyond Darklands.
