Tea Laroux (b. 1997, Natchitoches, Louisiana) is a fine artist whose practice centers on the sculptural construction of light and the formal principles of the Tenebrist and Pictorialist tradition. Eschewing the purely documentary, Laroux’s work treats the image as a constructed icon—an allegorical metamorphosis built through a rigorous, interdisciplinary workflow.

His practice is anchored in the belief that light possesses physical weight. By integrating the precision of medium-format digital sensors with the tangible, chemical nuances of 120 film and large-format paper negatives, Laroux bridges the gap between historical lineage and contemporary storytelling. This slow approach to image-making explores the intersections of memory and the unknown, emphasizing the craft of the analog and the digital as a site of mastery. Currently based in New York, Laroux’s research-driven work has been exhibited and published nationally and internationally.
