Commission an artwork by Jean-François Laurent (JFL)
We can arrange and oversee the creation of a new work, made specifically for you.
Jean-François Laurent was born in Lille in 1975. He has been developing his own style (which he calls Diffractism) since 1997. His work is influenced by the works of Feininger, Delaunay, and Brancusi.
Diffractism: 1 style, 4 expressions A Geometric composition. The artist uses simple geometric shapes, recognized by all: lines, curves, circles, polygons... The goal is to allow the gaze to rely on this structure to understand, interpret, and better feel the work. Light in Motion: From a structured composition, the artist arrives at a decomposed geometry that he uses to let light enter from all angles. A transferable dynamism: Movement is treated in lines that continue, intersect, and converge. For the artist, every movement, even the slightest, prolongs, reverberates, lives, and gives life. The artist works in color gradients. For him, the elements infuse into one another, first on the surface of the work and then beyond, thanks to the viewer's gaze. Seeing to be moved: In his works, the artist always introduces a part of abstraction, particularly through the addition of colored dots (often in groups of 3 and scattered across the work). Their purpose is to question and move the gaze on the work to gradually reveal it as a whole.
Several of his works are held by collectors in France and abroad.
