Laurence De Valmy
Laurence de Valmy repaints art history, combining physical and digital mediums. Playing with the notion of time and through appropriation, the artist brings a new light on famous artworks and makes the viewers ponder on our current society including the notion of fame, the place of women or the role of social media.
In her POST paintings, she combines iconic artworks skillfully appropriated using acrylics with imagined conversations on Instagram, historically accurate yet humorous. The TikTok Timeless are short videos, available as NFTs, sharing a moment in time in the life of these artists. By telling the stories behind these artworks, the artist leads us to consider them with a new eye and ponder on the central place of social media for artists.
Laurence de Valmy is French American and lives in San Diego, USA. Her work is represented by galleries based in New York, London and France.
