Description

city-space-theatre_4The work of Claire Laporte manifests her fascination with the perpetual transformation and juxtaposition of urban space. Her brush converts the city into a theatre, supporting her quest to capture beauty in daily life and to create a poetic vision of these urban spaces.

city-space-theatre_3Laporte works from her sketches and photos of each space. Several months pass between the first rapid sketch and the finished work; this pause allows her to infuse her personal interpretation of city-space-theatre into the scene depicted. In this exhibition discover paintings set in the 7ème arrondissement.
