About Youri Laubscher

People are at the centre of my work. Whether abstract or figurative, they are always present. I am interested in the history and identity of people, both large and small, whether warlike or peaceful. Every message - from intellectual to primitive - that people send out is a reason for me to absorb it, filter it and create something from it. This can be comic characters, TV series, philosophers or literature and much more. I am open to any input. That's why my art has different facets and forms, just as people have different facets. First and foremost, it is not important to me what form my art takes, but that it gains strength through its reduction. In addition, my Spanish and Swiss roots influence and inspire me - like Goya and Giacometti.
