Adélaïde Laurent-Bellue (born 1989) is a French contemporary painter. Trained at ESAG Penninghen, she worked for over ten years as a freelance graphic designer before fully dedicating herself to her artistic practice. Today, she develops a body of work at the crossroads of the figurative and the dreamlike, employing two techniques that echo one another within her artistic approach: acrylic paint on canvas and Luminance colored pencil on paper.
Her work has been exhibited in France and internationally, notably in Paris (2023, 2025), London (2024) and in the Lot region (2023), as well as at the Venice Biennale in the Cameroon Pavilion (2024).
She now presents a solo exhibition at Galerie Elhabibi, And Beneath the Earth, Life, the gallery thereby renewing its confidence in her following a first exhibition in 2025 that had already revealed the precision and singularity of her work.
