Laurent Anastay Ponsolle - Le chant des sirènes, peinture expressionniste, toile XL

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 the result of a performance with the contemporary dancer Mathilde Plateau. It is a painting created with acrylic and charcoal. The artist paints and draws in motion, following the dancer's movements.

To better discover the approach, here is a video of a performance given at the Carreau du Temple in Paris:

The whole piece is very "brutal", "écorché vif" (raw-skinned), and "sensitive", qualities native to German figurative expressionism, a current in which the artist fully situates himself. 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 hand.

Exceptionally, the work will be shipped without its frame, rolled and protected in a box with bubble wrap. Fast and careful shipping. It is also accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist, which will be emailed.
