AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Self-taught painter exhibited at the Centre Pompidou in September 2025 for the day dedicated to French Young Creation, Laurent Anastay-Ponsolle expresses the tension of body and soul in a free, instinctive and visceral work.
The work is a drawing made on Arches 300g paper, and it will be sent rolled in a tube. It is hand-signed by the artist on the front with his initials, and on the back with the detailed title.
As its name suggests, "Daphne" echoes the myth of the nymph of the same name who transforms into a tree to escape Apollo.
It is sold with a certificate of authenticity that will be emailed.
