WED | 10 Part painter, part biologist, Denis Laurent – a French artist based in Phnom Penh for more than 20 years – views his artistic pursuits not as a profession, but as therapy: “An escape valve to keep a balance in life.” In Expression Libre, a collection of 20 paintings being shown publicly for the first time, Laurent is inspired by his vast collection of primitive, tribal masks. Colourful and spontaneous, the paintings are all untitled (he doesn’t want to influence the way you view his work).
