Laurentsius (Lauri Sillak; b. 1969 in Kohtla-Järve) has been called a fetishistic aesthete in his work: he approaches his subject with extreme dedication. Laurentsius's works combine academic painting with pop art. While valuing, on the one hand, the classical still life in the manner of the 17th-century Low Countries school of painting, his oeuvre has also often been associated with kitsch and camp. By skilfully employing the lexicon of kitsch, Laurentsius's works are at the same time a parody of kitsch, joyfully amplifying the elements of kitsch to the maximum.
