Artistic process
-
My creative effort is based on behaviors and adaptation of life in relation with its
environnement.
I explore subjectivity of natural interpretations by metamorphic, round sculptures which outlines move according to the different points of view.
This research brings us to question ourselves, poetry becoming the only key to give a direction in the great chaos.
« The poetry of a people is the element of its progress » - Victor Hugo.

Life course
-
Born in Orléans, Laurent Guyolot began with wood and soft stone figures which got into private collections.
Then by Besançon he joined the artistic collective Arcadia.
From 2001 he got a 16 years unique experience in Carrara : exploring sculpture in various studios, carving in immersion in nature or on the top of a marble mountain for five years.
He composes his pieces as allegorical poetries of life. He uses the pseudonym "Enzoyote" as a mark of his unusual creative ways.
Enzoyote sculptures are now present in Europe, from Scotland to Spain, in Switzerland, in the USA and Asia private collections.
