Monolithe<\/em>, by Laurent Henrion, is a dense book with soft, light images. The weight of the very thick, tar-black hardcover, a flood of shapes on the page. This essentially baroque work explores the irregular pearls of desire. There is darkness and troubled light, soap bubbles and wire fences against which flesh collides.<\/p>\n

Constellations, the inside is the outside, the outside is the inside, we do not desire alone but with the universe, the crooked roads, the cube of mystery where our soul rests. Monolithe<\/em> folds and unfolds, looks at transcendent geometric lines, retaining walls, buttresses. It is the choreography of characters in search of an author \u2013 of love? \u2013 tilting their heads, necks stretched, baptismal liquids flowing down their faces. Laurent Henrion does not dissociate the small point of brilliance from the sensation of the cosmos, inventing his work by connecting masculine and feminine energies.<\/p>\n

The joy of polarities, solitude, immensity, flowers open with the scent of lust. The impression of sculptural bodies entering into mutability, metamorphosis, reinvention of the self. Tides, waterfalls, falls, whirlpools, births.<\/p>\n

Desire is blind, but Monolithe<\/em> sees, organises, assembles, finds coherence, recurrences, points of divergence. Everything is silent, but everything speaks.<\/p>\n

Lines like tears. Shards on a mirror. Spectral embraces. Laurent Henrion\u2019s work can only be approached through poetry, for it is mist and darkened light, Corinthian columns and erratic swimming in the flow of time.<\/p>\n

Barbed wire of plants, softness of skin, apotropaic gestures thrown into space. Each photograph is a strange and fascinating tableau, halos of light in flight, amniotic fluid of the night, sparks of sexual attraction.<\/p>\n

In Laurent Henrion\u2019s realm, there are abandoned houses in the woods, huts becoming temples, a bet on grace to get through the times and their evil spells.<\/p>\n

We do not leave Monolithe<\/em>, we belong to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

About the artist<\/strong><\/p>\n

Describing himself as \u2018highly sensitive, hypersensitive\u2019, the artist conveys his doubts, fears and dreams through his images. His work focuses in particular on the confrontation
\nbetween Eros, love in all its forms, and Thanatos, the embodiment of death. Sometimes dark and disturbing, sometimes naive and dreamlike, his universe is inspired as much by fashion photography as by
\nromantic painting, abstract art, sculpture and Japanese prints. He has exhibited his work in France and Belgium, notably alongside Jean Janssis in 2016, and in the same year won the Picto Prize for young fashion photography. Most recently, he exhibited in China in the collective and travelling exhibition Sight of Wind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1506,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[45],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1518","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-hematomes-editions","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"purchasable","12":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nMonolithe - H\u00e9matomes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/hematomes.be\/en\/boutique\/hematomes-editions\/monolithe\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Monolithe - H\u00e9matomes\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This is the first major publication for this young photographer, for whom H\u00e9matomes \u00c9ditions aims to produce a generous work in the form of a long, sensitive landscape through time and intimacy.
