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 strength and spontaneity.
This work is the fruit of a performance with contemporary dancer Mathilde Plateau. It is a painting made with acrylic and charcoal. Between automatic writing and choreographed gesture, the artist paints and draws in movement, letting himself be carried by the dancer’s movements.
To better discover the approach, here is a video of another performance given at the Carreau du Temple in Paris:

The whole is a very “raw,” “raw-edged,” and “sensitive” whole, qualities inherent to German figurative Expressionism, a current in which the artist fully aligns. It is also a tribute to Yves Saint Laurent’s creations, a designer whom the artist deeply admires.
It is signed on the back, in the artist’s own handwriting.
Exceptionally, the work will be shipped without its stretcher, rolled and protected in a carton 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.
Figurative Expressionism, contemporary dance, hands, night, desire, love, hands, artistic nudity, Schiele, Munch, Kirchner, Yves Saint Laurent.
