BIO`

Laura Gibson (b. Manchester 2001) is an abstract painter based in London, UK.

She works with acrylic paint and oil stick, creating non-figurative works often on reclaimed surfaces, including disused IKEA furniture. Explored through varying scales, she works intuitively and without pre conceived imagery, allowing each painting to unfold in a single sitting. 

Sound is an ongoing influence in the artist's practice. She is interested in the relationship between painting and sonic thinking, drawing on influences including (names) to explore how silence and music can shape mark making in different ways.

For her, painting is both cathartic and compulsive. Her practice extends beyond the individual work into editing and arranging paintings in dialogue with one another, forming interconnected visual conversations that reflect a broader emotional landscape. Recent work explores the shifting relationship between her body, gesture and surface through larger formats (such as?). These works operate as maps of her subconscious; records of emotional states that can be revisited and re read over time.
