Laurence Perratzi
Laurence Perratzi is a French figurative artist exploring the body’s expression. Her work is a reflection on movement strongly influenced by her athletic background where poise and balance are paramount.The figures challenge gravity with subtle poses or sometimes snapshot of body in action.
Although Laurence is known for her work in Bronze, her “Trees” and “Clouds” series are an explosion of joy and freedom where she gives way to her fantasies, battles with materials such as plaster, wood, fiberglass, jesmonite, achieving intimate and powerful sculptures.
Unlike her bronzes that are usually made in a limited edition of eight, the trees and Clouds are all unique, one off pieces.In 2001 she decided to dedicate herself fully to her true passion: sculpture.
She started to work under the tuition of various sculptors such as Jean-Charles Mainardis, Jan Buckley and Hywell Pratley, did her first exhibition in 2003 in Paris and is now exhibited in London (in major Art Fairs such as the London Art Fair, Lapada, The British Art Fair, Saatchi & Saatchi, Saatchi Art), as well as in Paris, Singapour (with Shanghai Art Plus gallery), Brussels and the United States.
Her work has also been displayed in the Adornes Domain Museum …
