Diptych of 2 etchings

It calms us both 3 by Laure Prouvost is a limited edition diptych etching from 2014, with only 10 editions. This artwork consists of two contrasting panels: on the left, a black background with bold white text reads IT CALMS US BOTH (PREGNANT WOMAN), creating a statement that invites reflection. On the right, a delicate line drawing in soft pinks and black outlines depicts a pregnant woman, adding a personal, almost intimate layer to the statement on the left. Prouvost’s work often blends language with image to evoke nuanced emotional responses, and here, she creates a space where calmness, expectation, and the bond of pregnancy are visually and textually intertwined.

Laure Prouvost (France, 1978) is a conceptual artist celebrated for her immersive video installations and mixed-media works. Blending surrealism and humor, her art explores themes of language, memory, and human connection. Winner of the Turner Prize in 2013, Prouvost’s enigmatic narratives captivate audiences worldwide.

There is a lot of distance because reality is never what we dream.
- Laure Prouvost

Laure Prouvost is a French-born artist who resides and works in London, England. She is best known as an installation artist. However, Laure Prouvost's work includes the art forms of collage, installation, and film in combination. The artist studied film at Central Saint Martins (CSM) and also attended Goldsmiths, which is part of the University of London. Both schools are located in London. Laure Prouvost also worked as an assistant to Conceptual artist John Latham. In her work, Laure Prouvost skews expected and ordinary connections between image, perception, and language. Not afraid to go the non-traditional route, the artist explores a unique relationship between imagination and reality, as well as allows audiences to be open to abstract meaning in her work. Laure Prouvost has exhibited her work throughout the U.K. and Europe. Her first museum exhibition in the United States was titled For Forgetting in 2014. In 2013, she won the Turner Prize for an installation called Wantee, which is her most regarded and well-known installation to date. (Artist website)
