Shapes Form Figures
A short film featuring artist Lauri Laine
Lauri Laine is a Finnish painter known for his explorations of light and shapes in undefined space. His work has been heavily influenced by Italian Renaissance and Spanish Baroque art, particularly by the painters Francesco de Zurbarán and Diego Velázquez.
While Laine works on a painting, we are taken on an evolutionary journey of his repertoire of work, as shapes start to form figures.
This 3.30-minute film is an artistic interpretation of Laine's work and combines video with 2D animation. This film is intended to be screened among the work of Lauri Laine and was first exhibited together in March 2018 at the Galleria Heino in Helsinki, Finland. It has also been screened separately at Film and Animation Festivals throughout Europe.
