Project 365 Item 14 Make America Hungry Again

Welcome in my eclectic world of creations and technics. From an early age Laurent (°1961 Belgium) developed a keen interest in technology, creativity and entrepreneurship. After obtaining his engineering degree, he ventured into business with a synthetics processing company where technology and innovation are guiding principles, a daring initiative at the time. Traveling far and wide to finding high-quality techniques is one of Laurent's passions: experiencing is knowledge, knowledge can be harnessed to develop skills, and meanwhile every contact strengthens our connections. Furthermore, Laurent dares to collaborate without compromising his authenticity. Designer, fabricator, assembler,... Laurent is driven by one thing: innovation. Therefore, self-study, experimenting and the manufacturing of sometimes far-fetched ideas is not new to him. Increasingly the need to be creative manifests itself within Laurent. This drive is clearly demonstrated in his latest paintings, installations and objects . Laurent has also been working on the harmony between art and craftsmanship over the past few years through Projects with a big P. Each project is a unique reflection of a goal, with a specific emotional aura or social message in which humour often lurks in the background. They regularly emphasize women's right to existence in a simple but powerful way. His oeuvres come across as rather eclectic, always innovative and often unpredictable. AtelierForton is located near Brugge (Lissewege) in Belgium. www.atelierforton.be
