Laurent Anastay Ponsolle - ANNA #1

Young artist featured 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 strength and spontaneity.

This work is an oil painting on paper with highlights in oil pastels. The whole presents a very “raw,” “scabrous,” and “sensitive” whole, qualities intrinsic to German figurative expressionism, a movement in which the artist fully situates himself.

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