About the work

My work explores the playful and unexpected through bold colour, expressive shapes and a touch of surrealism. Drawing inspiration from everyday objects, nostalgic references and the characters we encounter, I reimagine familiar subjects through a contemporary lens. Balancing humour with emotion, my paintings are an invitation to see the ordinary a little differently. It's time to own a Laura Thomas Art painting!

About the artist

Escape to nostalgic environments in an expressive world of shape and colour. Laura’s work explores nostalgic scenes and social moments. The works exist to transport the viewer to uplifting and familiar environments through the use of expressive pattern, colour and still life compositions. Bold blocks of colour and collage define Laura’s practice with layers of paint and collage to add depth and texture. Flowers, animals, vessels, food and interiors are the subject throughout and the flatness/shape can often create multiple outcomes in what the viewer interprets from a work. The work is predominantly paint on canvas using, acrylic, oil, oil stick and collage. Laura applies techniques that allow her to create naive marks and use shape and pattern opposed to replicating what I see in a literal sense. Laura enjoys pushing the boundaries of conventional still life, creating ambiguity and taking inspiration from artists such as Matisse, Cézanne and Kandinsky. My paintings often celebrate everyday objects with their intense colour and examination of space and form.
