Lætitia Disone
France • 1965
Presentation
Painter and Engraver, lives and works in Paris.
Laetitia Disone is introduced to figurative art through various courses such as those of Sofia Vari-Botero in Paris, the Artistic Center of Oxford in England, and the Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid in Spain. She also assists as an apprentice several painters in their work. The body (s) and its line become the main source of his inspiration.
In Ivory Coast, where she lived for several months, the curves of African art made her little by little simplify her figurative line to find a rhythm that would become essential. Over the years, freer in her formal research, she borrows the aesthetic codes of brut, aboriginal and street art. Little by little, the work of the line narrows down to the essential.
Bodies are deconstructed in order to rebuild themselves freely, otherwise, thus reinventing a new DNA with a new reading grid where everyone can dive into their own imagination. The choice of materials tends to materialize this search for freedom.
For Laetitia Disone the abstraction of forms is an echo of the diversity of modern identities. There is no longer a body. It is a question here of modular complementarity of forms, lines, plans in the construction of an "other" universe. Of the need to seek the right balance of the essential in an infinity of possibilities.
