OPENING RECEPTION WITH THE ARTIST
About Laurent Karagueuzian: Born in 1967, Laurent Karagueuzian developed a passion for art at an early age, particularly for drawing.
Holding a DEA in Fine Arts obtained in 1990, he taught the discipline before dedicating himself entirely to his artistic practice.
His work is constantly evolving, navigating between early figuration and abstraction, with the movement of leaves and the spaces between them having long been his favored subjects.
His latest series, Les Papiers Écorchés, illustrates this transition toward abstraction, where silence and air play a central role.
