Laurence de Valmy
Artist Laurence de Valmy invites us to reflect on the links between artists through times and the relationship between Art and social media today. Inspired by the personal stories of artists, she revisits Art History through fictional anachronistic Instagram of the past asking “what if Instagram had always existed?”
Laurence de Valmy is French born and lives in the USA. She started her career in France in 2005 as a painter creating artworks in the style of contemporary realism and would regularly exhibit.
Her interest for art history and painting led her to create in the fall of 2016, the POST series which led her to a breakthrough. In 2017, she was awarded an Artist Residency by the ESKFF at Mana Contemporary, NJ (USA) to develop her concept. She got gallery representation at the end of her residency and has been exhibited in group exhibitions and major international art fairs since then.
