Robert Laurent
Robert Laurent is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Robert Laurent kept a pet chicken in his studio, feeding it bits of bread while he carved wood. His hands moved differently than most sculptors’—he started with photos, then cut straight into the block, letting the image guide the gouge. He belongs in your feed because his *Untitled (Photograph)* sculpture turns a simple snapshot into a hunk of walnut that feels alive; tap it to see how a block of wood can remember a face.
