“They’re abstracts and what’s unusual is how he integrates discernible figures into them, which people often mention to us and which makes them so popular,” Laurent’s mom told The Times of London.
How does the young artist paint?
In discussing the artist’s painting practice, his mother told the New York Post, “It’s entirely up to him when and what he paints.”
She said, “Sometimes he doesn’t feel like painting and doesn’t set foot in his studio for three or four weeks but then suddenly it grabs him and he says, ‘Mama, painting.'” Check his painting video here.
