About
Laura Rogeau
ARTIST
Laura Rogeau is undoubtedly a young artist whose sensitivity will leave no one indifferent. Born in Paris in 1995, she grew up in Spain and attended a Franco-Spanish school. But the school benches were too narrow for Laura, who struggled to find her place in a school system unsuited to great sensibilities like hers. She therefore preferred to abandon her schooling, to quickly immerse herself in a universe that fully recharges her: Art! Because if the school has difficulty dealing with "outside the box" profiles, the artistic world, on the other hand, fully welcomes them. Laura first began to express her artistic sense through dance. From the age of six, she took classes and gradually moved towards Modern Jazz and Oriental Dance. A field of expression that she continues to practice assiduously.
It was in 2018, a few years after our first meeting, that I suggested Laura take painting lessons with me. She seemed drawn to painting, and her heightened sensitivity told me that she most certainly had an encounter with colors to make.
I remember her questioning, slightly doubtful look during our first discussion about painting. Laura analyzes intuitively, quickly, without filter, like a small animal that instinctively knows what is good or not for it. She accepted my proposal quite quickly with pure enthusiasm. I was very quickly struck by her innate sense of color, and her way of diving into abstraction with the evidence of talent.
Laura paints the movement of the world, its contradictions, human connections, the roots dear to each being, the traumas. She injects each time a part of light, which comes to calm its conflicts. Her canvases have the raw energy of primitive instinct: that of the creative act of the caves, that of our deep humanity. She gradually caresses very sought-after colored nuances and the use of materials becomes more and more subtle. Earth, sand, structural gels, amalgams of paint are all materials that allow Laura to express her universe and all her sensitivity.
She is attached to the authenticity of her work, she paints in connection with the present moment, that special moment when the mind no longer dominates our thoughts, that magical moment when the creative act transcends reality to give way to the heart, because that is how Laura paints: with the heart. Her deeply poetic work immerses us in universes where fragility and strength, gentleness and anger constantly coexist, as if she were staging contradictory feelings to magnify them in the light.
Remember this name: Laura Rogeau never ceases to amaze us!!!
