Description
"Primal" was designed for a competition organized by the Villa Seurat Foundation, the theme of which was "nature takes back its rights". Since its presentation, I decided to have the work smoothed to give it more hold and strength.
To respond to this project, I chose to question the relationship between Man and Animal, the secret connection that brings us closer to the Animal and that unites us as living beings on the same planet. Indeed I think - at least that's how I felt - that this difficult period of pandemic and containment has also allowed us (me) to find each other again. Rather than letting us drift in the frantic pace of Consumption that we were accustomed to, it helped us to better discern what touches us, what really interests us. Suddenly the machine stopped. We had to refocus on ourselves, live differently. Perhaps in a simpler way, more essential for some; more natural for others.
Thus, “PRIMAL”, questions the animal which is in us in an almost organic way: “Naturally, Nature, led me to the Animal”. We go here to meet the Beast, but also the Pack, the Instinct, the Flesh - and very often to find a mirror there. We examine how Nature reclaims its rights over Civilization. Brute, too. Straightforward, sometimes raw. Devoid of morality, free from any notion of good or bad.

Presentation
Self-taught, Laurent Anastay-Ponsolle has always maintained an emotional relationship with his artistic practice: the feeling is his favorite exploration territory. From the very beginning, he goes where his instinct guides him. He prefers to photograph his model from different angles in order to choose what interests him in a pose, rather than retranscribing the primary truth.
An obsession, the hands. Possessive, fragile or powerful, sensual or anonymous, they emerge as spectres to capture the attention and to give the essential emotional charge of the composition.
Through his erratic line, Laurent Anastay-Ponsolle tracks down emotions to expose them. He explores the sensitive, the ephemeral, the fragile. By accumulation or deletion, the eye is lost and the individuals disappear: infinite embraces, perpetual, by self forgetfulness or other forgetfulness, the features and the personalities fade away.
To express this research, an obvious medium, drawing. Then painting. However even through this one, the drawing emerges faces like an indelible mark. Saturation, breathing, its repentances are apparent: it scratches erases, erases and underlines its subject. Forbidding himself the use of an eraser, his technique is in the image of his subject: embodied, raw and spontaneous.
