Drawing on her background as a videographer, Anne Lauroz develops a narrative approach to painting rooted in everyday life and personal memory. Using vacation snapshots as starting points, she depicts bodies caught in moments of leisure and celebration. Her compositions unfold like film stills, where imagined settings emerge through painterly gesture. Balancing vivid and pastel colors, invented landscapes, and abstract forms, her work reveals an unexpected sense of calm. Embracing humor and strangeness, she explores ambiguity, tension, and dissonance while preserving the fleeting nature of lived moments.
