Madeleine Laplae’s paintings explore the act of searching—both as a metaphor for the artistic process and a visual framework. In her smaller works, a circular form functions like a flashlight beam, evoking the point-of-view mechanics of video games and the disorienting pleasure of looking for something just out of reach. Drawing is foundational to her practice; even the layered curtain piece includes a physical drawing embedded beneath the paint. For Laplae, the joy lies not in discovery, but in the endless commitment to the search itself.
