Painting Métro aérien-2 by Angeli Laurent | Painting Figurative Mixed Urban Black & White

It was in the fifth year of high school, whilst choosing his general course that the Parisian Laurent Angeli decided to sit the entrance exams for a school of drawing. For three years, he familiarised himself with the fundamentals of painting at the school of Rue Madame (6th arrondissement), before specialising in graphic design during a year at the Gobelins school in Paris. Being the last born in a family of four brothers and one sister, he normally watched his father and one of his brothers draw. His father was a mason craftsman, who carved wood in his spare time, which later nourished his creation. Alongside his career as an independent graphic designer and art director in advertising agencies, he has always painted.
