corps-couple2 09 Drawing by Dominique Laude

Dominique Laude is a contemporary French artist. The compulsive presence of the body is what characterizes Laude's paintings. Deformed body, supporting body, site of love-death encounter. The body is tense, fallen, and pained. Body ripped apart, deconstructed, distorted, abandoned, adrift in space, on the verge of transformation. 

His works are influenced by expressionism and the great classics, both of which are known for their excessiveness. Excessiveness in the way of disrupting natural shapes, limiting colors to shades of red, ochre, black, and white, and disfiguring features in a painful delirium, abolishes all rules and replaces sensory awareness with hallucination. 

Dominique Laude was born in 1966, in France. He exhibited his works in France, Switzerland, Belgium.
