10 Chancery Lane Gallery is proud to present bamboo sculptor Laurent Martin “Lo” with a solo exhibition in Hong Kong entitled “Celestial Equilibrium”. The exhibition runs from May 23 - July 20, 2024 to also coincide with The French May. Notably, the artist will be personally present in Hong Kong to attend the exhibition's opening.
Laurent Martin "Lo" (b. 1955, France, lives and works in Spain) is a visionary French artist who deftly manipulates bamboo to create breath-taking sculptures that float or balance with an otherworldly grace. His deep understanding of bamboo's inherent qualities, combined with his keen exploration of tension, balance, and movement, results in a body of work that is both visually captivating and conceptually rich. With each sculpture, Lo invites viewers to embark on a sensory journey, immersing themselves in the delicate interplay of materials, light, and air. Through his dedication to advancing his practice and pushing the boundaries of his chosen medium, Lo has emerged as a trailblazer in the realm of mobile sculpture, reimagining the possibilities of contemporary art.
In the exhibition, Laurent Martin "Lo" invites us into the celestial realm, where his poetic mobile sculptures become the universe of planets and stars in a dance of flowing objects. His sculptures embody a captivating interplay of forces, achieving a remarkably fragile equilibrium. Guided by the breeze, these pieces gracefully sway and cast enchanting shadows that dance upon the walls.

“Lo” comments about the Hong Kong solo exhibition, “In my search for balance, the Universe is my main source of inspiration. The combination of forces of attraction and repulsion, tension and restraint, gravity and weightlessness, presents the most spectacular demonstration. The sublime moment of the alignment of the planets, a masterpiece within the exhibition, symbolizes the concordance of favourable events in our lives. The fragile moment of happiness.”
