ganymedesrocks:jareckiworld:Laurent Grasso — Studies into the Past (oil on wood, 2018)Laurent Grasso, b. 1948, is a French conceptual artist, who lives and works in Paris, where he develops his fascination with the visual possibilities related to the science of electromagnetic energy, radio waves and naturally occurring phenomena. Grasso explores these sciences as they apply to paranormal activity, already a favorite subject of 18th century scientists and philosophers, often used as parlor entertainment during the Victorian era. Incorporating imagery culled from the cinema and art history, Grasso works in video, sculpture, painting, and drawing, to recreate phenomena – both human and natural – that set up surreal and ambiguous juxtapositions of time and space. -- source link
