Limited edition of 175 Born in 1976 in Paris, Laurence Bonnel discovered the art of sculpture in 1998, through her Art History and Literature courses that revolved around figuration. The human figure plays an essential role in Bonnel's work. She creates architectural, almost primitive silhouettes, which emanate a grand presence. The motif of the human shape, that of couples and that of the crowd, is recurrent and central in her portfolio, and her formal stylization immediately evokes the spindly forms of Giacometti, or the Cubist bodies of Zadkine. Bonnel creates "silhouettes without faces, but expressive. Like the difficult experience of questioning oneself."
