In 2002 it was the turn, Laurence decided to give free rein to his artistic vocation and leaves the field of fashion to shut herself in his painting studio.
Only after 8 years of exploration work and technique that the artist decides to offer his work to art Gallery.
Oil, a revelation, memory material that keeps track of every move of the artist who incises, cuts, cuddles, scrapes the paint on the canvas. Armed of her knife, Laurence sculpt her faces with energy to deliver us impactful graphic works.

AIIROH is born in Narbonne in 1987, it is a French artist.
He paints and draws from a young age.
Working for some years as a graphic designer in France and Switzerland, Aiiroh draws inspiration from trends Pop Art, New Pop Art and Street Art.
Out of art school, it is oriented in the field of communication in order to become a graphic designer.
It was during this period that he decided to create these paintings using advertising or posters of the elements straight out of the street.
One of these early work consisted has to confront the dessinnée strip hero who inspired it since his childhood.
It diverts the image we may have of these characters.
In some of his works, the artiste AIIROH integrates brands to remind dependency that human beings consumer products.
The graphical power of these brands as it has an effect on our collective unconscious and on our aesthetic codes.
In line with its Pop-art predecessors, Airoh uses mixed and technical information, as affichisme, gluing crystals svarowsky, acrylic paint, stencil, freezing.
For the past three years, he is focusing on re-interpretation of iconic figures and pop symbols through posters he finds in the streets of Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, Narbonne, next to his old graffiti “spots”.
He is a well-established artist in France, Switzerland, and USA.
The artist AIIROH is part of this new generation Neo Pop Art.
Neo Pop is not a new movement in itself but rather a resurgence of work on popular culture, and an accommodating means of classifying different artists that constitute it.
This path functions as the major entertainment media, which produce images and disposable icons, and trying to compete with them.
Yet the New pop differs in some respects from his senior. Society has changed, art too. Its artists seek to show how the negative side of cultural colonialism can be transformed into “strangely beautiful anomalies”. Their work is the result and the reflection of the society of globalized information.
Thus it is not to transform the aesthetics of everyday life into art but rather to demonstrate that art and consumerism, popular culture, are level and can coexist in the same image.
This current rejects the idea of a higher art to others, and wants to be close to the people and buyers, accessibility is his watchword

MENDJISKY
Serge Mendjisky was born in 1929 in Paris. His father, Maurice Mendjisky, was a painter of the School of Paris, this is how Serge acquainted with the world of Arts dice childhood. After completing his studies at the Beaux Arts in Paris, he soon became a recognized artist and exhibited in Europe, Japan and the United States. Already, he uses photography to make its preliminary studies in painting.
In 2000, he decided to use photography as the only means of expression. He borrows the collage technique to alter photographic images and articulate its multidimensional worldview. The multiple perspectives, expressed in his collages evoke clearly the analytical phase of Cubism. Pablo Picasso, Serge Mendjisky well known thanks to his father’s activities on the art scene at the time, told him that the actual Cubism would be fully achieved through photography. He always kept this vision in mind, and after many years of technical exploration, he found a way to question not only the appearance of the world, but also our perceptual behavior.
By decomposing and recomposing the backgrounds of some of the most famous cities of the world like New York and Paris, He creates new urban landscapes which question our perceptive faculties.
Volumes, lights and colors create different visual rhythms that establish new relations between time and space. Through the creative goal Serge Mendjisky Broadway becomes an explosion of colored lights, while the “Down Town” New York poetically waltz with a cello sounds. Recognizable cityscapes are redefined and reformulated reality becomes three-dimensional.
The work of Serge Mendjisky is represented in public collections as well as private, the one of the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, the Museum of Art in Philadelphia and the Museum of Fine Arts Pushkin in Moscow.
In 2014, Museum opens Mendjisky dedicated to ” School of Paris” in Paris.

Robert Combas is born in 1957 in Lyon.
He brought the dawn of the 80 new figurative painting.
Present on the art scene in 1979 he created a movement that Ben called Figuration Libre movement grouping: Rémi Blanchard, François Boisrond, Robert Combas and Hervé Di Rosa.
Painting done freedoms she talks about society, violence, sexuality, suffering people, their small joys, their smallness, their size …
She was inspired by the rock in which the artist is an amateur end, popular images, childhood books, textbooks everything that makes a popular culture accessible to all.
“I work in both abstract painting by jets, a kind of abstract expressionism The figurative is the fun side, walk on earth. Initially it was a ridiculous reaction against the intellectual paintings from the middle of two worlds . There are still different are messages in my painting. initially it was some energy, I wanted to paint what I wanted in the comics we’re stuck with the characters, as in this painting, I am art 70s Me I’m from popular areas, I was living in free fully free, even by the format. ”
“The painting of Robert Combas is perpetually on the alert as an organization. His work is indeed a constantly open structure and, therefore, needs to continually” food “to stay alive.
It goes without saying that such a phenomenon is not possible without the presence of the “other” is tell the viewer. Between this and work of Combas weaves a complementary relationship where one needs the “other” . and this means the image is used by Combas for “cause”, to get a reaction of the viewer and to “invite” then, is to say, whisper: “Come here to talk with me I want you tell stupidity, violence, beauty, hatred, love, serious and funny, logic and absurdity that surround our daily lives. ”
The artistic language does not stop at the borders of the intimate. On the contrary, it is starting from this item “intimate” it will then exceed to become “social”. A language which, at the same time is a positive attitude; because beyond the scenes of violence or intense sexuality, beyond the word picture combination (or sentence), the work of Robert Combas is primarily a gesture.
This gesture has no educational basis (the subject is not the epicenter) but is a behavior that is thirsty to broaden its scope beyond closed borders of a language of history Art, to turn to what until now had been despised by the elite that dominated art during the period of the 70s: children’s drawings, crazy, comics, music the rock childish “is actually nothing more than a strategy: that of a painter who wants to enlarge the field of action of its iconography.
