AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Young artist exhibited at the Centre Pompidou in September 2025 on the occasion of the day dedicated to French Young Creation, Laurent Anastay-Ponsolle is a French expressionist artist born in 1982. Drawing, painting, collage, performance are the languages he explores with force and spontaneity.

This work is an oil painting on paper with highlights of oil pastels. The whole is a very "brutish", "raw", and "sensitive" piece, qualities inherent to German figurative expressionism, the current in which the artist fully aligns.

The work will be shipped in a cardboard tube with bubble wrap, fast and careful sending. It is also accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist that will be emailed.

Figurative expressionism, Schiele, portrait, Munch, hands, anatomy, Kirchner
