Loran Guillot

My painting is born from a dialectic between gesture and resistance, between vital impulse and the accidental.

I open the canvas as one opens the earth, in an original plowing, an archaic act that recalls the imprint of telluric forces. It is not a simple play of textures or materials: it is an excavation of being, a drilling into the sedimentary layers of the intimate.

My approach is both plastic and existential. Like an archaeologist of the soul, I dig, I cut, I explore the folds of dreams and memories, in an underground dialogue with the Freudian unconscious and the drives described by Lacan. The work thus builds itself in layers, between erasure and emergence, like a palimpsest where the material betrays what has been silenced.

I claim an expressive, organic painting, heir to modernity but resolutely rooted in a contemporary urgency.

My painting does not expose; it exposes something of me.
