LAURALOU

Lauralou is a recurring character in Bruno Catalano's work. In this sculpture, the artist revives artistic experiments with flattening and scale. By playing with the material he knows so well, he offers different perspectives of the same figure: in profile, she appears whole, while from the front, she is as thin as a sheet of paper. This technique, like the tearing that made him famous, explores themes dear to the artist, such as fragility, loss and disappearance.
