Very attached to the organic world around him, Laurent Nicolas borrows elements such as wood or stone from nature, revealing their imprint. Moulding allows him to discover forms and textures that are far from obvious at first glance. The void becomes solid and gains in thickness after the application of clay on these natural materials. The use of glazes, which he mixes and overlays, fleshes out this envelope. A microscopic world of cells and micro-organisms scatters the surfaces of a universe that oscillates between submarine and underground.
