Laurent de Commines - Lot 20
Laurent de Commines "Roman tent for the King of Sweden at Haga, after a drawing by Monsieur Desprez". Watercolor on paper Frame size: 49 x 97 cm Born in 1960 and trained in architecture and the history of the decorative arts, Laurent de Commines quickly developed a passion for the pictorial fantasies of the 18th and 19th centuries, which he revisits. Vanished interiors, improbable ornaments and cultivated whims are his tireless themes. He has also designed porcelain, furniture, fabrics and wallpapers in the same spirit, both playful and nostalgic. A memoirist as much as a storyteller, Laurent de Commines dabbles in relics and allusions. His black backgrounds dramatize his drawings, but his colors play them up. Mentally, he is close to Emilio Terry, whose monograph he illustrated.
