Laure Martin French painter whose work has been gaining increasing recognition on the art market in recent years, including in Poland.
Laure Martin belonged to the circle of French artists working in the mid-20th century. Her style is a unique combination of surrealism, primitivism (naive art) and expressionism.
The painting "The Ark" is extremely dynamic and full of symbolism. The figure floating in the sky next to the sun gives the scene the character of a vision or dream, not just a biblical illustration. Martin often used saturated reds, yellows and blues, which she layered to create the impression of vibrations of light. Her characteristic way of painting animals - somewhat simplified, but full of emotion and movement - makes her paintings very recognizable.
Although for years Laure Martin was known mainly in narrow circles of collectors in France, today her works regularly appear in auction houses around the world (including Sotheby's and platforms such as MutualArt). In recent years, her paintings have become sought after by collectors of 20th century European painting, who appreciate modernism and art with a soul that departs from cool abstraction.
Laure Martin's paintings are "unmistakable." They have a dose of mysticism and warmth that is rarely found in modern painting. This is art that perfectly "defends" itself in the interior - it attracts the eye with its color, and on closer examination intrigues with details and symbolism.
