FLORENCE LAPRAT
It Looks Like You Like What You Do
04.09 – 03.10.2025
Gallery 41 — Rue Ernest Allard 41, 1000 Brussels
It Looks Like You Like What You Do explores fleeting emotions and silent narratives that flow through everyday life. Inspired by scenes observed on the street, in cafés, or on the metro, Florence Laprat seeks less to depict an image than to translate a vibration — an inner movement.
Rooted in memory, each painting captures moments that are at once chaotic and tender, intense and fragile, shaped by gesture and the rhythm of color. The figures, often mute and distant, appear as fragments of suspended stories, anchored to the ground yet permeated by the passage of time.
The creative process — layering, erasing, rewriting — reflects the instability and impermanence of life itself. Color provides emotional intonation, while forms whisper implicit, open-ended narratives.
The series also questions the relationship between gaze and gesture, viewer and painting, memory and present. Within this space of uncertainty and fragility, Florence Laprat seeks to capture the poetry of the instant, embracing the unknown as an essential part of creation.
