LAURENT MARTIN "LO" - CREATIVE PROCESS
Artist Laurent Martin “Lo” has shared his world of bamboo with us. Through years of observation and studying of this amazing plant, he has come to understand its multitude of possibilities.
His creativity is thus born out of his learned skills and understanding of his material, especially bamboo. His artistic palette is within the physical and sensorial virtues of bamboo: its very sophisticated organic structure, but also its energy and spirituality. Establishing an intimate dialogue with bamboo, Lo experiments with its flexibility, resistance, density, lightness, mathematics and poetry, a language that allows him to combine both tension and compression, creating sculptures based on movement and balance.
