Laurent PARCELIER gives the impression of living in eternal holiday, between Provence and Luberon.
Happy and contemplative, flowing peaceful days with family in a beautiful house, basking in the sun of the south, nestled in a village clinging to the hillside, with the only horizon, the sky, the sea, a flowery plain, wooded mountains, offering bahous bald head to the caress of the day.

Q: “Is being an artist is obvious to you”?
Art and philosophy are to me the best way to aesthetize my existence. With these two means of expression and reflection, I was able to optimize my tragic optimism and reverse the general neuroticism contemporary works. My wish is to deal with company or topical subjects more or less serious, and to attempt a democratic and positive transcription. For me it is a fun way to play with images and frivolous objects that recall childhood with filigree the finding of a report obsession we have with frivolous consumption, fueled by advertising constantly renewed. This work brings me also to wonder if happiness would not exhausted the pleasure of consumption

Photography. Photo feeds my future work. I leave my travels and I’m sorting the workshop. From this material, I develop new themes. Photographing the reality is not reduced but the sublime. This is an investigation of reality through the lens. The close-up limits our field of vision and focus our attention.
Language. I developed an antibody language that resists permanent aggression exerted on me the outside world. This is the summary of my life. The strength necessary to meet the individual and collective threat that we face.
Anguish. There is a common thread in all my work: loneliness, anxiety ?; this is what I feel in this society that ultimately makes us sick. This is as a painter, with my images, I try to free myself, to find answers.
Thought. It is three-dimensional: painter, photographer and sculptor. People know the painter and photographer but they often forget the sculptor.
New York. The discovery of a mythical place and the same time the rediscovery of a city that cinema had already perfectly told me.
Walls. The places on the fringes of our cities, underground, scrap, landfill yards, the hidden faces of our industrial world exert a strange fascination for me.
Wife. Always eroticized. It does not escape its reassuring aesthetic that brings us back to life. Through fragments of the female body, I invite the viewer to do the job.
Contemporary art. I think of the greater good, I accompany. This is more exciting than ever. Above the Street Art, a reaction to what the city offers us. Our tables are too small.
If you had not been a painter ?? Musician. My father was a musician in his spare time. He played the violin Brahms, Bach, Mahler …
