LAURENT ALLARD
Born in the south of France, Laurent Allard studied graphic arts and fine arts in Marseille. He now lives and works in Paris.
In his work, mainly in 3D, he likes to create images as visual jokes, mixing objects of very diverse nature, both trivial and consumer goods. As handmade and naive looking, to make grotesque compositions that seem to have a hidden meaning behind the obvious joke.
Allard likes to mix materials such as wax, porcelain or even chocolate, thanks to the medium of 3D, giving him total freedom on the desired photographic rendering, bathing the whole in a light and a classic still life atmosphere.
Learning 3D on his own primarily to make Snapchat filters for the company he was working for. Starting 3D design by creating instantly recognizable Social Media filters (fluffy animal ears). Allard draws and paints but when seeing the possibilities of 3D it totally switched his art practice and now given it a higher dimension to his work.
Laurent Allard took part in ‘LUCKY CHARM’ a Group Exhibition of 28 International Artists. Presented by Lisa Boudet in association with Moosey Art. Opening the 4th of November 2021 at Hoxton Arches in London, United Kingdom.
