Laurence de Valmy invites us to reflect on the links between artists through times and the relationship between Art and social media today.​

Inspired by the personal stories of artists, she revisits Art History through anachronic social media of the past, based on the aesthetics of Instagram and TikTok.

​

In her POST paintings, she combines iconic artworks skillfully appropriated with imagined conversations on Instagram, historically accurate yet humorous. The TikTok Timeless are short videos, available as NFTs, sharing a moment in time in the life of these artists. By telling the stories behind these artworks, the artist leads us to consider them with a new eye and ponder on the central place of social media for artists.

​

In her more recent series #hashtagsareart, she explores the place of this tool in our communication through phygital artworks available as limited print editions and NFTs.
