Laurence & Graffensttaden, conceptual artists born in 1977, are united as much by their youthful love as by their boundless creativity. Their paintings of ?Cellular Portraits?, constantly enriched by collaborations with renowned painters and visual artists, fuse science and art to reveal the inner beauty of the human being. Cellular Portraits by Laurence & Graffensttaden revolutionizes art by blending science and creativity. This visionary duo uses medical technology to transform human cells into fascinating works of art. The result reveals humanity's inner beauty, while conveying a powerful message about diversity and tolerance. These portraits, exhibited in prestigious venues such as Galerie Kraemer and the Institut du Monde Arabe, captivate with their unique aesthetic. For example, 'Tous pareils, tous différents', created with schoolchildren, celebrates equality. Today, this work is part of a permanent museum collection. In this way, it highlights the interconnection between art and society. The book also explores the artists' collaborations with Flore Sigrist and Saint-Étienne Yeanzi. It pays tribute to icons such as Jean-Michel Jarre, influenced by electronic music. It also reveals their artistic approach, which questions human identity and the role of science.
