Amicale

Born in Strasbourg in 1991, Lucas Kraft holds a Master's degree from La Cambre in Brussels, and lives and works in Paris. 

His artistic practice navigates between the figurative and the abstract, two seemingly distinct approaches that enrich each other. On the one hand, he draws inspiration from the old engravings of masters such as Antoine Watteau and Jacques Callot, whose delicate lines and refined details influence his figurative compositions. These artists have profoundly shaped his exploration of form and pattern, allowing him to develop an ornamental grammar and a lexicon of shapes.

The abstract works, primarily created in watercolor on paper, free themselves from formal constraints to embrace a more spontaneous and intuitive gesture. The use of color, form, and texture becomes an exploration of the invisible and the transient, expressed through movement and emotion, far from traditional figurative representation.

The works are in the format 76x65 cm, watercolor on paper.
