Lassana Sarr

Strongly inspired by the urban figure, Lassana is known for his talent as a photorealist artist. Graduated in Graphic Design and having followed throughout his career a continuous education in the History and the practice of art, it is very young that he cultivated an attraction for the futuristic and devastated images of mangas and series. Japanese. Lassana has always oscillated between the city and nature, two distinct and contrasting universes that never leaves him and it is mainly from impressionist and naturalist painters that he draws his technique while referring to the reality of the technological maze.

By taking the photo as a benchmark, his works approach photographic reality, while moving away from it and challenging it. It is both a desire for contradiction and opposition between the technological form and human strength, reality and fiction. Lassana sees in the phenomenon of Raw Graffiti, a theme that is both rich, wild, and founding, but also a means of making its mark.

What he especially likes is mixing techniques: watercolor, acrylic paint, pencils, ink, felt-tip pens, and everything that comes to hand... It's also giving way to randomness, to his instinct. , to the small errors and imperfections of the moment, in order to be, as we like to say, "re-creative".
