Portraits represent the core of the work by Laurent Camus. Besides drawing, he has been taking photographs since he was twenty years old. Through this activity he has found answers to his own technical and artistic expectations.
Meeting people with handicapped people in day care facilities has been a decisive factor in his artistic and human engagement. The confidence acquired by his models for over fifteen years has allowed him to reveal their inner nature, their intensity and humanity. He invites us to stop and see them, to think of them beyond their psychiatric environment. Laurent Camut’s work goes beyond reportage fieldwork.
Laurent Camut was born in 1968 in Belgium. He lives in Bruxelles.
