LAURENT PRONEUR
Regression, 2026
By painting like a child, the artist removes culture, education, and ego,
reaching a state most artists never dare to return to. What you see is not innocence.
It is freedom. It was made before rules, before taste, before permission. A return to the moment when creation was instinct, not strategy, a lifetime learning how to forget. The result is a work that feels immediate, honest, and impossible to fake.
The Quiet Sun Inside
Oil on canvas 48X60in
​
A meditation on inner warmth and silent resilience.
The figure dissolves into color and light, as if becoming its own source of hope.
This painting speaks of calm after struggle, of a soul learning to glow from within.
The Mind Under Construction
Oil on canvas 48X60in
​
A raw portrait of consciousness in motion, where identity, memory, and emotion collide.
The figure is not finished, not fixed, but becoming.
Painted with urgency and instinct, this work captures the fragile moment between breakdown and awakening.
Midnight Messages
Oil on canvas 48X60in
​
A raw urban meditation where light struggles through darkness.
Layers of gestures, tags, and erased thoughts collide on a violet night, capturing the restless voice of the city and the fragile hope hidden beneath its chaos.
The Noise Inside the Heart
Oil on canvas 48X60in
​
A portrait of emotional turbulence and fragile hope.
Violent reds collide with luminous yellows and electric greens, revealing a figure caught between chaos and awakening.
Every mark feels like a heartbeat , imperfect, urgent, alive.
Uncontained
Oil on canvas 48X60in
​
This work presents the face as an eruption rather than a structure. Color, gesture, and line collide in a dense, volatile field where identity struggles to remain intact. The figure emerges briefly from chaos before dissolving back into it, suggesting a moment of exposure rather than permanence.
The painting reflects emotional excess, where intensity replaces control, and the self exists only through energy, movement, and release.
The Weight of Being
Oil on canvas 48X60in
​
This portrait explores identity as a psychological landscape rather than a physical likeness. Built through layered gestures, erosion, and abrupt color intrusions, the figure appears suspended between emergence and dissolution. Drips and scratches suggest emotional overflow and unfinished thought, while the dark mass of the head carries the quiet gravity of existence.
The work invites the viewer to confront presence, fragility, and the unstable nature of the self.
The storm that remembers everything
Oil on canvas 60X96in
​
The One Who Waits in the Blue
Oil on canvas 60X72in
​
A vast field of blue dissolves the noise of the world, leaving only traces of memory and motion.
From this quiet expanse, a solitary figure emerges, not arriving, not leaving, simply being.
The painting holds the moment before meaning forms, where presence alone becomes the story.
Those Who Remain
Oil on canvas 60X96in
​
A procession of human presence, wounded, luminous, and unbroken. These figures stand not as individuals, but as memory, endurance, and shared breath. They are not moving forward. They are already there.
Where the Soft Echoes Live
Oil on canvas 48X48in
​
Soft pinks and pale whites envelop ghost-like silhouettes drifting between memory and disappearance. Lines cut through the mist like emotional scars, yet the atmosphere remains gentle, almost hushed. This work embodies vulnerability, a quiet space where past feelings resurface only long enough to be understood, then fade again. A tender, introspective piece that breathes with subtle emotional truth.
La Danse des Survivants
Oil on canvas 48X60in
​
“La Danse des Survivants” is a painting built from tension, chaos, and the stubborn beauty of rebirth. Its figures appear fragmented, almost scarred, emerging from a landscape of smudged ochres, raw blacks, flickers of turquoise, and flashes of pink. They seem to rise from ashes shaken, altered, but undeniably alive.
The Gentle Assembly
Oil on canvas 48X60in
​
In The Gentle Assembly, forms gather without urgency.
They do not collide, they listen.
Warm ochres and pale light create a place of trust,
where movement slows and presence becomes enough.
This painting speaks of connection without words,
of being together without needing to explain why.
The Playground of Thoughts
Oil on canvas 48X60in
​
Simple figures float in an open space, drawn with the honesty of a child’s hand.
Nothing is fixed, nothing is correct, and that is precisely the point.
This painting celebrates instinct, imagination, and the moment before rules, before fear, before meaning became complicated.
Those Who Stand in the Dust
Oil on canvas 48X60in
​
From a whirlwind of browns, golds, whites, and broken gestures, two figures rise, side by side, like silhouettes pulled from memory. They stand in the middle of a world that is smudged, turbulent, and half-erased, yet their presence is undeniable. Their bodies blend into the swirling textures, but their shapes hold steady, like anchors in a shifting landscape.
Around them, traces of other beings appear and dissolve, a kneeling form, a face outlined in red, a turquoise hand, fragments of words. The entire scene feels like a faded fresco rediscovered, or a moment half-buried under time and emotion.
The Morning After the Dream
Oil on canvas 36X48in
​
A child of color and confusion, born in the quiet after laughter.
The air hums green, paint drips like memory,
soft, nervous, alive. You can almost hear it breathe, a pulse caught between
yesterday’s dream and tomorrow’s awakening.
The Weight of Silence
Oil on canvas 48X48in
​
In The Weight of Silence, layers of earth-tones, pale blues, and fragile marks drift across the surface like thoughts that refuse to disappear.
Nothing shouts.
Everything breathes.
This work speaks of memory, of time passing through the body of paint, of moments that no longer belong to language, only to feeling.
It is a pause.
And inside that pause, something essential remains.
The Map of Everything
Oil on canvas 60X96in
​
The Map of Everything unfolds like a living notebook of existence , fragments of creatures, gestures, symbols, colors, and half-remembered dreams layered without hierarchy.
There is no center, no single subject, only movement and discovery.
It feels like watching consciousness learn how to play.
This painting does not explain the world, It remembers it
The Winged Woman of the Sun
Oil on canvas 48X60in
​
A winged woman emerges from a storm of gold and shadow.
Her long neck rises like a flame of consciousness, her body dissolving into movement, her wings opening not in the sky, but inside the world.
This is not a figure of flight.
This is a figure of becoming.
She does not escape the storm.
She is born from it.
The Alphabet of Forgotten Faces
Oil on canvas 48X60in
​
This painting feels like a memory from before memory existed.
Faces, symbols, and fragile gestures float inside a field of white, as if the world is trying to remember itself for the first time.
Nothing is finished.
Nothing is certain.
Everything is becoming.
Cathedral of Noise
Oil on canvas 48X48in
​
This painting is not silent, it roars.
Colors collide like thoughts in the mind of the city, each stroke a pulse, each mark a heartbeat.
The black ground is not emptiness but depth, a night sky where light fights its way into existence.
It feels like standing inside sound.
Like walking through a storm made of memory, color, and motion.
Nothing here rests, everything becomes.
Madame Angel
Oil on canvas 48X36in
​
"Madame Angel" evokes an ethereal presence, a graceful fusion of elegance and mystery. With soft strokes and a celestial palette, the painting seems to whisper from another realm. She is both divine and grounded, a guardian cloaked in human fragility. Her gaze invites contemplation, as if she carries secrets from the skies yet chooses silence.
Inner child expressions
Oil on canvas 48X55in
"Inner Child Expressions" is a joyful eruption of innocence and instinct, playful, raw, and unapologetically free. The brushstrokes speak in the language of wonder, where emotion takes shape before reason intervenes. It’s a return to the purest self, where creativity flows without fear, just like a child discovering color for the first time.
the winged lady
Oil on canvas 48X60in
​
"The Winged Lady" is a vision of grace and power, part myth, part muse. Her wings suggest freedom, but her gaze holds depth, as if she’s seen both heaven and heartbreak. Suspended between earth and sky, she embodies transformation, a guardian, a rebel, a dream in motion.
The Dance of Becoming
Oil on canvas 60X96in
This painting captures human presence not as form, but as energy in motion.
Figures emerge, overlap, dissolve, and reappear, not separated by lines, but bound by color, rhythm, and light.
Warm golds and electric blues pulse against fresh greens and soft violets, creating a sense of continuous movement, like bodies dancing in the open air.
Nothing here is fixed.
Everything is becoming.
It feels like a moment of pure life,
where identity melts into connection, and color becomes emotion.
Présences légères
Oil on canvas 60X96in
Des silhouettes émergent d’un champ rose et lumineux, liées par un même souffle.
Ni tout à fait présentes, ni totalement absentes, elles semblent danser sans bruit, portées par une émotion commune.
Le geste est libre, presque enfantin, mais la composition révèle une profonde maturité : celle d’un regard apaisé sur l’humain, le lien et le temps qui passe.
Ici, la figure n’est plus un corps, mais une présence.
The Quiet Between Us
Oil on canvas 60X48in
Two fragile figures emerge from a field of white, drawn with restraint and vulnerability.
Their forms are incomplete, yet their presence is undeniable.
This painting speaks of connection without dialogue — a shared moment where simply walking together is enough.
Two bodies one silence
Oil on canvas 60X48in
Two figures emerge in layered strokes, their bodies overlapping in gesture and memory.
Lines hesitate, colors collide, and eyes remain alert, witnesses to a shared inner life.
This painting explores closeness without fusion, and identity shaped through proximity.
Still Standing in Red
Oil on canvas 60X48in
Two figures emerge in stark contrast against a red field, their bodies reduced to essential form and gesture.
The absence of detail becomes a statement, vulnerability, presence, and human persistence laid bare.
This work confronts what remains when protection, roles, and language fall away.
Jour sans mode d’emploi
Oil on canvas 60X48in
Kate is hot
Oil on canvas 60X48in
A figure caught in color and heat.
Serious painting, unserious title.
Sometimes, that’s enough.
Fragments of the Same Being
Oil on canvas 60X48in
Three figures emerge from the same surface, not as individuals, but as echoes of a single presence.
They share the same matter, the same breath, the same uncertainty.
Identity dissolves, recomposes, and remains unfinished—like memory, like childhood, like the self.
The Ant hunt
Oil on canvas 60X48in
The Ant Hunt captures the world from a child’s point of view.
Figures appear freely, without hierarchy or logic, as if drawn in the middle of a game. Proportions are off, bodies hesitate, animals come and go, just like in childhood drawings.
The painting doesn’t describe a specific scene, but a state of mind: observing, chasing, pointing, imagining.
The ants become an excuse for pure attention and curiosity, a moment when the world still feels vast, playful, and full of wonder.
There is no irony here — only sincerity, instinct, and memory, painted before rules, style, or self-awareness.
Almost there
Oil on canvas 60X48in
This painting feels like a moment just before clarity.
Figures appear and disappear within soft layers of earth tones, as if memories are slowly surfacing and dissolving at the same time. Nothing is fixed — everything is suggested.
The work lives in that fragile space between presence and absence, where emotion comes first and meaning follows later.
When feelings had faces
Oil on canvas 60X48in
This painting feels like a child’s inner world unfolding all at once.
Figures, faces, animals, and symbols coexist without hierarchy, guided by instinct rather than logic. Each mark feels spontaneous, imperfect, and sincere, as if emotion arrived before language.
It’s not a scene to understand, but a memory to feel.
Premiers traits
Oil on canvas 60X48in
Mister Logic
Oil on canvas 60X48in
Mister Logic explores a visual language driven by instinct rather than structure. Forms hover between figure and abstraction, echoing the spontaneous logic of childhood play, free, intuitive, and unapologetically imperfect.
The First Movements
Oil on canvas 60X48in
This is not the moment of childhood.
This is the moment just before childhood begins,
when the hand moves faster than thought,
and the world has not yet learned its names.

After the noise
Oil on canvas 60X48in
In this new abstract direction, the figure disappears and only sensation remains. Layers of muted tones are scraped, washed, and reworked, creating a surface that feels both erased and alive. A single horizontal gesture cuts through the silence like a lingering thought that refuses to fade.
Rather than depicting an image, the work captures a state of mind, the quiet aftermath of inner turbulence. What remains is space, breath, and the subtle trace of emotion suspended in paint.
Stuck in the middle
