Titane Laurent's interest in the philosophy of contrast and harmony in nature (Taoism), leads her work to embrace abstract contrasts including weight, poise, and elements of the biomorphic form.
Laurent’s sculptures reflect on her deeply felt humanism and tend to be playful, sensuous, motherlike and organic veering towards allusive, ambiguous shapes.
Her obsession with universal love, returns again and again to the motifs of human embracement and intimacy drawing analogies between the body, emotional and intellectual states.
The artist’s interest in nature, spirituality, and Anima (described by Carl Jung as the inner feminine part of the male personality) as well and her softly optimistic, redemptive view of humanity, leaves her audience with the memory that anyone can rebound from disaster. Evoking nature and resembling curious amoeba life-forms, the works are wide open to interpretation and offer the viewer sufficient field, emotion and sensuality for exploration to last a lifetime.
Executed in simple materials, such as cement, plaster, marble dust etc., the forms are characterised by a purity of line and polished surface. The finished form rests upon contrasting plinths of varying mediums and colours. Despite the simple medium, the biomorphic works have a real timelessness and elegance to them.
The key to their success is that they appeal to collectors of classical, modern and contemporary art alike. The artist is currently exploring the use of different materials and scale with the view to build, install and display works in public spaces.
