LAURENCE PLUMIER

(°1968, Liège (B), lives and works in Antwerp)

 

 

The work on paper by Laurence Plumier is striking in its uniqueness in colour. She gives colourful masked figures their own poetic life on paper. With a healthy dose of humour, she also creates a very personal visual language in her textile works. She draws her inspiration from the power of fashion, film, subcultures and fairy tales in which the magical aura of clothing is emphasised.

Starting from 'pure' thread, Plumier constructs three-dimensional crocheted works that acquire sculptural properties. The texture of these works plays an important role in this, in which a transformation takes place from the soft yarn to a constructed pattern.

Laurence Plumier holds Master 's degree in Fine Arts, Sint-Lucas Antwerp (2010) and studied Fine Arts (Painting) pat Royal Academy of Antwerp (1986-1990).
