About Artist
Lariau Vincent
A passionate photographer for almost 30 years, self-taught after a year in a preparatory art workshop for the Beaux Arts, I live and work between the Val d'Oise and the Hauts de Seine. Alongside a professional career in the fields of graphic design, publishing and packaging, I have continued to cultivate and deepen my practice of photography over the years. Very early on, my artistic vision and sensibility were strongly influenced by the great currents of Modern Art (cubism, futurism, constructivism, surrealism) and their artists (such as Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Maria Helena Vieira Da Silva, Alexandre Rodtchenko and Mark Rothko). All these influences have subsequently found their way into the aesthetics I've set out to develop. Attracted by the rhythmic repetition of geometric shapes and the interplay of light, color and materials, I soon became interested in the urban landscapes of business districts, industrial zones and construction sites. Using the structures of these "ultra-urban" environments as a starting point, I aim to create paintings in the colors of steel, concrete, glass and wood. These images are composed from real-life shots, and a system of duplication, homotety and framing has enabled me to emphasize the geometric structures, colors and rhythms that make them up, thus inventing a new reality of reality.
