Margaux Laurens-Neel
Following the exquisite corpse concept, Margaux Laurens-Neel invites you to reinvent your favourite or most feared animals, from the cutest to the scariest, through collage, cutting, layering and drawing.
Don’t miss this opportunity for discovery and creativity, at the crossroads of art, play and imagination.
Margaux Laurens-Neel (1997, FR) is a French-British artist who lives and works in Paris. She graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in June 2021, having trained in the studios of Joann Sfar (comic book author), Éric Poitevin (photographer) and Claude Dumas (designer and sculptor). She also benefited from two successive Erasmus programmes, with an exchange at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in 2019, followed by an internship in Kirsi Mikkola’s studio in Berlin in 2020. Margaux Laurens-Neel’s fantastical universe is as repulsive as it is attractive: she skilfully plays with the codes of femininity and masculinity, depicting imposing bodies worthy of the greatest mythologies. Often accompanied by animals, her characters appear as symbols and prophecies. The use of bright colours with a wide variety of techniques and her seemingly classical style create a true convergence between contemporary art and themes from art history.
