Artiste bio/ Baptiste Laurent (1980, Nantes) is a visual artist who lives and works in Madrid and Paris.
He has exhibited at various artistic and cultural institutions, including the Institut français de Madrid, Le Palais de Tokyo, La Caja Gallery, Esquina Nua, Espacio Seara, Gazzambo Gallery, Alliance Française, Museo Nacional de Antropología, La Gallery FL.
His traditional medium is painting, but he also works in sculpture and develops projects with a strong literary, social and anthropological component.
In his latest publications and exhibitions, "Conversaciones y puñetazos" (Conversations and Punches), "Mauvaises Tournures" (Bad Turns), "Bajo el Mismo Mar" (Under the Same Sea) and "Exit", he has repeatedly experimented with collaborative creative work with other visual artists and literary authors.
As an anti-academic and eclectic artist, he likes to syncretise pictorial styles, oscillating between neo-figurative narrative, graphic painting and expressionist abstraction.
Founder of the 'Latolier' shared studio in Madrid's Usera district, he leads a dynamic community of Spanish and international visual artists.
