ABOUT LAURA
Laura Viapiano is an artist based in Western New York. An abstract expressionist, Laura’s oil paintings explore the power of perspective on shaping meaning and experience for the individual.
Laura creates her abstract paintings through a series of loading, pulling, blending and scraping oil paint directly onto and off of the canvas. Paired with purposefully ambiguous titles, her layered color fields blossom into a microcosm of color, texture that invite each viewer to explore their unique relationship with what is merely paint on a surface.
Laura’s work highlights the human desire to seek out patterns and create a personal narrative through personal perspective and the interpretation of subtle, learned symbolism. Each piece offers viewers an opportunity to notice and examine the lens through which they create a relationship with the painting. Which meaning do they interpret from the title? How does that meaning affect their perception of the colors or textures observed? Is the emotional impact positive or negative? Why?
A native of Buffalo, New York, Laura’s paintings are collected internationally, and can be seen at various galleries & events throughout the U.S. and beyond.
