Spotlight

In Spotlight, Claire Laurent departs from portraiture to focus on the study of light, contrast, and pictorial rhythm. The composition features a Dalmatian named Scarlett, standing in a minimal, architectural space where shadow and illumination define the scene.

The irregular pattern of Scarlett’s coat becomes a central visual element, creating a dynamic counterpoint to the structured environment. The play between her organic markings and the geometric setting intensifies the perception of depth and presence.

Through precise color fields and sharp contrasts, Claire Laurent transforms a simple moment of stillness into a reflection on observation, surface, and the formal construction of space and light.
