Laurent Koller is french, he was born in 1966 and lives near Paris.
From the brush, a touch and the surfaces vibrate in an unstable fragile balances, stability is present. The subject is fluid, light and undulating as well as ponderous and determined. Bridges suspended, breaking the space, hauled up to different and uncertain perspectives, they carry the rythms and the emotions.
The perceptible tension of the work is its justification. The painter, deeply involved in the choice of the constrasting values of black and white, is looking for plurial dimensions. These confrontations put forward express explosions, reconciliations, and the meeting of vital forces.
Black and white is the absolute confrontation, from the interior of which is it not possible to express the chaos of life.
