Laurent Proneur
Laurent Proneur — a French-born American painter and well-known street artist — describes his paintings and other works as a “neoteric experiment in fine art graffiti.” Raised in a family of circus performers, the visual artist and music producer has been surrounded by creativity since he was a child.
Proneur trained as an acrobat and juggler prior to his teenage years, so that he might join his family members as they traveled to perform in circuses all over Europe. It wasn’t long before Proneur would discover graffiti on the streets of Paris.
Proneur eventually adopted the subversive art form as a way for him to express himself and during the mid-1980s began tagging alongside widely known street artists such as Jonone 156 and Futura 2000 — names he cites as influences today alongside the likes of Jackson Pollock and Pablo Picasso. As street art has long been part of the hip hop culture in the United States, rap music and production also became integral to Proneur’s life. During the 1990s, he established an independent production company, wrote and produced songs for himself and other artists, and worked with labels such as Sony and BMG.
Proneur continued to create works of street art over the years, gaining recognition among the other active artists in France and earning acclaim in a book published by Paris Tonkar magazine, a publication that covers street art in Europe. He studied at the Beaux-Arts de Paris for three years and now works out of his studio in Los Angeles, California.
In 2017, Proneur collaborated with the German bicycle company Haibike to help raise funds for the youth mountain biking programs of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association. The artist has had group and solo exhibitions at Gallery Montaigne, Terrell Moore Gallery, Maison de la Culture Paris and more.

- Woman, 1986 - oil paint, 142x114 cm., framedBy Damiano BernardLocated in Nice, FROil on canvas, signed back Bernard Damiano ne découvre sa ville natale, Coni, qu'en 1935, après neuf années d'émigration familiale avec son père Pietro (1895-1964), sa mère Rosa (née en 1897) et sa sœur Angela2, en Alsace, puis à Vallauris. En 1940, en même temps qu'il fait l'apprentissage du métier de taillage de la pierre dans l'atelier Revello à Coni, Bernard Damiano se lie, par des affinités artistiques et littéraires, d'une amitié durable avec le futur poète et linguiste Sergio Arneodo : plus tard, ils s'attacheront communément à la valorisation culturelle et spirituelle d'un village du Val Grana, Sancto-Lucio de Coumboscuro3. Trouvant un emploi de tailleur de pierre et de marbre à Tende (Alpes-Maritimes) en 1948 (c'est là qu'il rencontre son épouse Giselle2), puis d'ébéniste à Nice en 1951, il vit successivement à Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Vallauris, puis de nouveau Nice où, dans un atelier situé dans un sous-sol de la rue Benoit Bunico4 dans le Vieux-Nice, il peint tout en étudiant les peintres de la Renaissance et les impressionnistes. Lors de sa première exposition personnelle (Nice 1958, suivie rapidement de participations à des salons), Bernard Damiano reçoit les encouragements du peintre niçois Sylvain Vigny (1904-1970) avec qui il restera en relations. Sa vie à Nice est interrompue par deux années à Paris (Bernard réside alors rue Saint-Vincent, au cœur de la vie montmartroise), coïncidant avec sa première exposition personnelle dans la capitale, de 1966 et 1968. Il obtient la nationalité française en octobre 1974 et se partage dès lors entre Nice et San Remo2. C'est précisément au cours de la décennie 1970 que la peinture de Bernard Damiano est dite s'éloignant d'une parenté avec Jean Dubuffet, l'Art brut ou le mouvement Cobra pour, dans « une touche nerveuse et une pâte triturée »5, puiser son style dans la suite de l'expressionnisme6. Cette proposition est toutefois énoncée avec réserve : à l'instar de l'espagnol Eduardo Pisano, Bernard n'a jamais daté ses œuvres, reprenant et retouchant même souvent un même tableau pendant plusieurs années. C'est peut-être dans l'usage du « trait-couleur et du flamboiement des chairs...Category
