Post lot text

Lauréat de la Villa Médicis en 1989-1990, Denis Laget a vu son travail exposé dans plusieurs musées et Fonds Régionaux d’Art Contemporain (FRAC) français. S’emparant de sujets classiques et inscrits dans une longue tradition de l’histoire de la représentation – des vanités aux portraits, en passant par les paysages ou les natures mortes – Denis Laget explore la puissance de la matière, dans sa forme la plus organique et la plus brute. L’épaisseur de la pâte utilisée par l’artiste, associée à une subtile palette chromatique de demi-tons volontiers acides, engendre des toiles empreintes de rugosité tout autant que de douceur, de gravité tout autant que de finesse.
‌
Denis Laget was a Villa Médicis laureate in 1989-1990 and his work has been exhibited in several French museums and Regional Funds for Contemporary Art (FRAC). Taking up classic subjects from a long tradition in the history of representation — from vanities to portraits, landscapes and still lives — Denis Laget explores the power of matter, in its most organic and raw form. The thickness of the paste used by the artist, combined with a subtle chromatic palette of half-tones that are willingly acidic, produces canvases marked by roughness as well as softness, gravity and finesse.
