Laurent creates kinetic sculptures notable for their delicate and often romantic movements. was born in 1965 and worked in data processing for 25 years. It was only after taking a short sabbatical in 2010, in which he began creating his early kinetic sculptures, that he uncovered his true passion, and began making his moving sculptures full time.
Laurent’s goal in creating his artworks is to transmit emotions to his viewer through the movements of his pieces. Indeed, he has noted, 95% of human communication consists of movements rather than words. What Laurent aims to do is recreate this phenomenon using as few mechanical pieces as possible, so that the focus remains on the movement rather than what creates it.
Laurent is especially appreciative of slow movements, because, he believes, the slower the moveent, the more intensely it is felt by the viewer. He has been exhibiting his works since 2012, to great critical acclaim. Laurent lives and works in Paris.
