Overview
LBP's work uses intuitive, primal expressions to create paintings that defy a single interpretation. The vivid colors contrast with the raw forms.
The intention: to make visible the raw nature of human beings, their layers of mistakes, intentions, and concealments.
The human figure is everywhere but never static. Bodies are fragmented, faces overlap, silhouettes intertwine without ever resolving. Writing fills the surface: words, codes, numbers, proper names. This is not narrative, it is saturation. The painting is like a blackboard covered with everything that has been said but never heard.
The work ranges from small, highly gestural formats to very large works on canvas or wood, some mounted on stands. A practice that is free in its formats yet consistent in its energy.
My view
I chose her in June 2026.
Beneath the appearance of chaos, a deep culture, Gilgamesh, Sumer, and a line that, for its part, refuses all control. A painting with a long memory and a short gesture. I have been living with one of her artworks for several years.

The Letter
Every two weeks, I write a letter about the art I truly look at. Not the art we are necessarily told to love. Simply a slower, more personal, and freer way of looking at contemporary art. Three regular features. The Selection: I present an artist. Everyday Uncommon: my eye, the exhibitions I see, and what I find in them. Behind the Scenes: I talk about Avanvue, its projects, its choices, its philosophy.
