"Bretagne - Pont L'Abbe" by Philippe Laurent.

Watercolor on paper
48 x 36 cm

Laurent is a plastics artist, musician and designer. Whether working with graphical or digital codes, plastic arts or music, Laurent's approach is that of research specifically to do with the perception of signs and symbols relating to people. As a multimedia artist, he has always been open to new technologies, whether composing musical works or creating graphical works.

During the 1990s, he became a point of reference with his interdisciplinary work at exhibitions in France and Germany, designing complex pieces that blended various advanced techniques. His paintings - the illusion of calligraphy on monochromatic backgrounds - pose a question about the relationship between signs and meanings. Philippe Laurent develops figurative and partly abstract ideograms, aiming to never repeat the same figure twice, like the writing of a lost continent or an original language, a code that would have preceded all other languages and that would have been lost. This ambiguous play raises the fundamental question of the ontological state of the written language in our Western societies. Philippe Laurent has completed lengthy personal study of the shapes of the first symbols and letters which led to the sublime nature of an esoteric alphabet.

The Cause

Amici per il Centrafrica ODV is a non-religious association created in 2001 for proactive participation in helping people who live in poverty. This nonprofit organization helps the people of the Central African Republic, especially those experiencing greatest hardship in Sub-Saharan Africa. It offers them instruction, healthcare and training for employment so that they might become fully self-sufficient.

The association is made up of volunteers who help both in Italy and Africa. It receives funding from various sources, including individuals, private businesses, banks, foundations, public bodies and schools. It believes that the improvement in living conditions of people all over the world is everyone's responsibility.

Growth and lifting the limits of development are stimulated through educating people and raising awareness about existing opportunities. Healthcare emergencies, widespread poverty due to political, social and structural instability, and the lack of attention toward defending minorities all impair the people of Central African countries in building solid bases for planning their future.
