Work / Art Laurent Eisler draws playful figures in “precariously balanced compositions”

Illustrator Laurent Eisler’s paintings are childlike in their execution with absurd and humorous characters inhabiting the paper in funny guises and positions. “In my drawings there’s a lightness and delicacy, I’m very attentive to details,” says Marseille-based Laurent. “There’s a lot of empty space in which objects or people float in precariously balanced compositions.”
