Laurent Pariente has followed all kinds of paths. The tortuous path of running away, at a very young age. Then, very quickly, the oblique paths of plastic creation. Laurent offered spectators labyrinthine paths in which to lose their footing. Clay mazes, chalk labyrinths - One day, Laurent Pariente branched off: he became a chef in New York. We no longer wandered through his work, we tasted it, we absorbed it. For him, these multiple tracings form one and the same path; he continues to dig the same furrow of creation and wonder.
