Jean-François Lauda
In his art practice, Jean-François Lauda adopts an intuitive approach to painting. His exploration of raw materials is translated through the slow formal transformations that arise thanks to the experimental dimension of his work process. In exhibiting the deliberate marks of actions of accumulation and erasure, his compositions reveal their own making: traces of regrets, memory of past actions, heterogeneous temporalities.
