Jan Scheirs Live Art

Art Comes To Life at Darklands 2025

Let’s be honest, 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. He blurs the lines between realism and abstraction. 

Scheirs has a rare gift for making the invisible visible and crafting 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 recognizable and unforgettable.

Live Drawing Sessions

At Darklands, Jan now gives you the chance to become part of his art. He creates live drawings that capture the moment on premium watercolor paper, enhanced with aquarelle pencils and Chinese ink. Whether you want a portrait, 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 every piece into a unique reflection of its subject. 

Each session takes about 30 minutes with about 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 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 Darklands fair for €195. 

And if you don’t feel like carrying 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 keeping it safe without stuffing it in a locker. Now that’s practical! Scheirs’ stand at Darklands has an authentic feel with his bold paintings and a large banner. That makes it hard to miss and will be an amazing photo opportunity. Think about Antwerp’s well-known cranes with an edgy vibe that captures the world of Darklands. Don’t forget to tag him on Instagram (@janscheirsdrawings) when you share your pics.
