About Laurent Anastay Ponsolle

Self-taught, I did not have a "classical" artistic training. I like to draw as if I were photographing, highlighting a pose, or a detail that makes "speak" the composition. My approach revolves around eroticism and self-abandonment. It is the flesh that makes us aware of our body. It is my "base" of work, my material: I believe in an expressionism of the body that reflects a state of being, a passion, or a taboo. In my opinion, the body speaks for the mind when words fail us: "what my language hides, my body says it" wrote Roland Barthes in "Fragments d'un Discours Amoureux". By accumulation or erasure, the eye is lost and individuals disappear: infinite hugs, perpetual, forgetfulness of oneself or the other, traits and personalities fade.
