Laurent’s exhibition of painting and sculpture entitled “Be a Flâneur” (translation”Be a Wanderer”) invites the viewer to take a journey into the urban landscape. Laurent encourages the viewer to “get lost” in the “city” that is his exhibit. It is his distinctive paintings and sculptures that distinguish the landscape that he has created. His art  differentiates the space from its surroundings.  Many of the materials used in Laurent’s sculptures are found in nature and portray an urban landscape. read about ALEXIS LAURENT >>
