I’m Laurent Van Wambeke. I'm from Brussels and I do art.
What drives me is the magical and the unknown, from the enchanting world of magical children's stories to the science fiction universes of the most famous sagas.I love art that challenges conventions, that immerses the viewer by inviting them to reclaim what they perceive. Art that titillates our own awareness of things and ideas, art that invites us to question ourselves.
I love art that invites us to observe and feel, art that immerses us in a feeling of excitement, making us feel ‘I fucking love this!’. This art, whose richness of textures, colours, contrasts and style is so strong that it could overwhelm us.
I love art that, above all, communicates, that shouts to the world that it exists in all its complexity. I love art that tells us a story, one that resonates within us, mirroring our lives and the family, social and political fabric in which we live.
Our drawings, paintings, installations, photographs and experiments only truly come to life when they are shared.
