Laurent Le Deunff's Eclectic Practice and Upcoming Shows
Laurent Le Deunff, who was born in 1977 in Talence and is currently located in Bordeaux, produces works that are decentralized and utilize a variety of techniques and influences. Following a comprehensive exhibition at the Musée des beaux-arts de Libourne that spanned a decade, he will unveil new pieces at Frac Basse-Normandie in Caen this summer. His artistic approach integrates elements from online imagery, hunting engravings, and ethnology, crafting animals and objects from an array of materials. His significant works include 'Totems,' 'Le Foyer,' 'La Galerie de taupe,' and 'Crâne humain.' He has held solo exhibitions at Galerie ACDC in Bordeaux (2010), Musée des beaux-arts in Libourne, and Frac Basse-Normandie, Caen (summer 2012). His group exhibitions feature Dynasty at the Musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris and FIAC 2011 at Jardin des Plantes, Paris.
