Laurent Pernot’s art is a powerful expression of time, nature, and joy.
This year, there’s one artist that is on everyone’s must-see list: Laurent Pernot, a French artist whose works are timeless and considered. With past exhibitions held in such prestigious venues as the Miro Foundation in Barcelona, the Sketch Gallery in London, and Paris’ Georges Pompidou Center, Pernot is an artist like few others, creating minimalist, impactful pieces that linger in the mind.
A cultured and contemporary artist, Pernot’s repertoire includes a wide range of media such as photography, video, installation, and sculpture, all of which he has been honing for the past two decades. Influenced by literature, poetry, and mythology, Pernot’s latest exhibit is temporal, immersive, and otherworldly, exploring a variety of philosophical binaries and modes of being.
Pernot’s most recent exhibition was a dual-city affair, with works held at the Saint Laurent Rive Droite stores in Paris and Los Angeles. This exhibit featured his latest series of works, ‘The Contemplations’, which is a collection inspired by the Victor Hugo poems of the same name. Those poems lay out an autobiographical story in different verses, a form of storytelling which Pernot adopts with his dream-like panelled paintings.
