Camille Lavaud Benito
Camille Lavaud
Born August 2, 1981 in Bergerac, France
Lives and works between Eymet and Paris
The “Tout un film” exhibition gave my work great visibility. Meeting the other artists was also enriching. The cross-interview with Antoine Marquis generated a great deal of mutual interest. This rich exchange stimulated us to think about a continuation of this exchange in editorial and drawing form or otherwise.
For Camille Lavaud, drawing is a choice of rigor and freshness, measure and overflow. While it serves as a medium for ideas, expressive preoccupation and imaginative effervescence, it nevertheless retains a margin of play that keeps its evocative capacity particularly vivid. It combines a variety of sources, but also welcomes antagonistic temptations. Its energy borrows from comics, cinema, art history and biographical resonances, and carves the furrow of a never-fixed, always jostled realism that responds to the calls of fantasy, poetry and restitution based on superimpositions of registers and tonal variations.
