Description
Gold diggers/
Gold diggers is a small sample of three paintings which follows the series "Blue as velvet".
In nocturnal settings and landscapes, forests or imaginary still lifes, the observer will find mysterious characters.
Dream worlds, virgin nature and ancestral human hopes mingle.
Technique: The technique of painting on velvet gives a special atmosphere to this series. The subjects or objects are painted in negative with an ultramarine blue pigment. The figure is then left "in white" (on black velvet) and defined by the contours. This technique gives a unique impression of night light, of moonlight. Ultramarine blue can be associated with feelings of nostalgia and melancholy (the Blues), and also gives each painting a feeling of mystery. Black velvet, chosen to absorb the most light, also carries the symbol of a noble material, softness or theatricality. The contrast and combination of these two sensations inspired the title Blue as Velvet.
Presentation
Baptiste Laurent (1980, Nantes) is a visual artist residing in Spain since 2007. He has exhibited in various artistic and cultural institutions such as the Palais de Tokyo, the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Madrid, the French Institute in Madrid, Esquina Nua , Espacio Seara, the Alliance Française de Madrid, the Gazzambo Gallery and the FL Gallery.
He developed his artistic practice as an autodidact, alongside his studies in political science and art history. He has been artistic director and manager of cultural projects in many cultural and artistic institutions (Palais de Tokyo, La Maison Rouge, Venice Biennale, Gallería Continua, etc.)
His traditional medium is painting, but he also works in sculpture and develops projects with a strong literary, social and anthropological component. In his recent publications and exhibitions "Mauvaises Tournures", "Bajo el mismo mar" and "Exit", he experimented with creative work in collaboration with other visual artists but also with literary authors.
He is an anti-academic, eclectic artist, who likes the syncretism of pictorial styles, and who wavers between neo-figurative narration, graphic painting, urban art and expressionist abstraction.
Founder of the "Latolier" shared studio, located in the Usera district of Madrid, he leads a dynamic community of Spanish and international visual artists.
