Laurentsius

With this piece, the viewer is treated to two art experiences in one: the painting is based on a sculpture by the English artist Henry Moore (1898–1986). Moore was known for his semi-abstract formal language and his fascination with ancient cultures. He created numerous versions of his own “Venus of Willendorf” – voluminous, erotically charged female figures. However, Laurentsius is not primarily interested in the sculpture itself, but rather in creating an illusion of space – depicting a three-dimensional object on a two-dimensional surface as realistically as possible.
