The series of works was born from the practice in the studio and from the reflection on Shelter Painting, works already exhibited
in in 2018 & 2019. The works therefore arise from the manipulation of the fabric of the camping tents used and recovered by the artist according to their chromatic and wear characteristics.
“His works arise from the relationship between the practice in his studio and world practice, distinct moments, but which inevitably influence each other incessantly” (G. Tosi). This influence coincides with the production of apparently solid minimal units that the artist composes by sewing portions of curtains. These minimal units arise from an incessant observation of the city, from the study through drawing and from the transformation into almost anthropomorphic subjects. Laureyns reduces the practice of the world into a soft material that can be manipulated and therefore this material is subject to the rules of composition and painting. In this way, the artist creates volumetric elements which, losing their solidity and functionality, can be summarized in an original discipline.
