About Écorché Studios

Écorché Studios (ES) is a lifestyle rooted in fine art, anatomy, and curiosity.

Our collection of brands touches these areas in various ways, and the unifying thread honors the spirit of écorché by following curiosity and integrating disciplines.

Here, at the heart of the ES, is a resource for the continued study, exploration, creation and collection of fine art.

"During the Renaissance, artists began producing works depicting the anatomy of the human body. These works were intended for Art lovers, as well as physicians. Given that Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) never finished his treatise, the 16th century seven-volume set of illustrated books, La Fabrica, by Andre Vesale is considered as marking the beginning of a long tradition of anatomical drawing that endures to this day." - Morpho

The word écorché is a French term meaning, "flayed." At ES we take inspiration from that unique curiosity to uncover that which is within, and take it one step further to explore our curiosities about movement, the mind, the body, and the spirit that drives our inspiration. This is a place where science intersects with fine art.

ES inhabits a variety of forms from fine-art pop-up galleries, creative inspiration and technical development workshops, to collectors events and networking opportunities. We also provide consulting services and represent and support various artists.
