ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This artwork by Laurent Anastay-Ponsolle explores an asymmetric power dynamic between man and woman. The man, in the foreground, appears bent over, almost crushed, suggesting a form of submission. His slumped posture and faint features contrast with the woman’s upright and dominant stance, evoking a silent but powerful force. The feminine figure asserts her presence with clear lines and deep shadows. She seems to control the scene, embodying an implicit authority, enhanced by the use of dark tones and sharp contrasts between the characters. This interplay of power and dependence is central to the composition, where the man, despite being in the foreground, appears subordinate to the woman’s energy. The use of charcoal, walnut stain, and ink gives the piece a raw and expressive character, typical of Anastay-Ponsolle’s work, where movement and emotion crystallize in lines that are both fluid and tense.

Self-taught artist, born in 1982, Laurent Anastay-Ponsolle has developed a practice based on emotion and spontaneity. Fed up with words and concepts, he wanted to express himself in a different way and be in direct touch with materials. Deeply influenced by Schiele, Munch, but also drawing from diverse sources of inspiration like Antique or fantastic mythologies, Mapplethorpe, his work is in continual tension between passion, storytelling and aestheticism. Always guided by his instinct, Laurent Anastay-Ponsolle’s erratic lines search and reveal emotions. This is why he has now a strong link to contemporary dance and explores letting go. A bit less than ten years ago, Laurent felt “ready” to show his work and exhibit. This process -talking to people and making new encounters- was a true revelation. Since then, he took part in many solo and groups shows as well as performances. In 2020 he decided to stop all other professional endeavors to dedicate himself to his art.
