Out of this World

Sponge of the contemporary era, Laurent Impeduglia absorbs an impressive amount of elements, mostly coming from the mass media to feed his teeming universe. Combining humor, derision and irony, he has developed a very personal tone which false naivety contrasts with his intention.

The works of Laurent Impeduglia crystallize passions and fears, cults and outlets, criticisms and praises of the 21^st century. The politico-cultural deviances sarcastically mix with everyday banalities. The artist draws his inspiration from his childhood sweethearts, those who formed his culture, namely video games, comics, B movies or cartoons to create a vast personal mythology. The latter naturally echoes the current news.
