Patrick Laumond was born to a father from Cantal, a hydromechanics engineer, and a mother born in Brive la Gaillarde, trained as an aesthetician. He grew up in several regions of France. At 10 years old, he returned to Corrèze where he spent his adolescence. Constrained by his father who enrolled him at the Pierre Caraminot National Professional School in Egletons, he was a boarder there until obtaining his baccalaureate in mechanical engineering. At the time of choices, he joined the Henri Brisson National Higher Professional School in 1994, where he learned applied science in technical and industrial ceramics, in Vierzon. He was noticed by Jacky Trotereau, professor and head of the ceramics art and decoration laboratory, who allowed him direct entry into the 2nd year at the National Higher School of Arts and Applied Arts in Paris at Olivier de Serres (ENSAAMA). He graduated top of his class with jury congratulations for the presentation of his personal portfolio in 1996.

At each event, he confirms a powerful advance, specifies his immaculate universe and announces the next steps in service of his inner abundance...
CONCORDANCE UNIVERSELLE
MétaHisme. An attempt to expand the possible Patrick Laumond's work seems inherited from the plastic qualities and minimalist and conceptual language, born in reaction to the pictorial lyricism of expressionism. In the face of the debauchery of colors and figurative and narrative tendencies, Laumond's installations are embodied a priori in abstraction, but also the rigor and coldness of an immaculate white. Forms are geometric, lines straight, regular and homogeneous. Tensions and obliques underline an operative dynamic, at once mathematical, structural, even universal...
