Note: Laetitia Guilbaud was a regular contributor to The Scottish Contemporary Art Auctions from 2009 until she returned home to France to continue her career in 2016. Her work is all about women. She is inspired by fashion and Pin-up art which is why she likes to depict them "with plenty of character and femininity". She started off exhibiting in bars, restaurants and art fairs and soon had several articles appear in the national press about her and her work. In 2009, she depicted the Scottish First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, then Health Minister, in a provocative painting holding a whip and a pint. The painting was reported to have been enthusiastically purchased Ms Sturgeon's husband after being featured widely in the Scottish press and media. Laetitia continues to very successfully exhibit her work in galleries across France and Britain. During her seven years of selling through our auctions, she achieved an extremely high sell rate and received numerous private commissions.
A condition report is offered as an indication of any issues visible to the naked eye. As none of our staff is a professional conservator or restorer, buyers must satisfy themselves in respect of condition and McTear’s can provide contact details of local professionals who can provide fully comprehensive expert reports, usually for a modest charge. The condition report does not form part of any contract between McTear's and the buyer, and all lots are offered "as is" in accordance with our Terms of Business available on our website.
