Artist: Laura Thompson | Location: Harrisonburg, VA
Harrisonburg, VA
Vintage magazine images meticulously cut and placed on painted backgrounds, both abstract and representational, offer a new spin on contemporary surrealism in the works of Laura Thompson. Laura has participated in more than 20 group and solo exhibitions in Virginia, Louisiana, and Washington, D.C.
Laura works in oils and mixed media collage. In her ìlittle worlds,î characters are arranged in unexpected configurations, resulting in dreamlike scenes that are absurd or whimsical, but often with a palpable tension. Marked by innuendo, contradiction, and wit, Laura's work invites the viewer into the joke.
Originally from Rochester NY, Laura now lives with her husband and 3 kids in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. When she's not working on creative projects, she enjoys yoga, HIIT workouts, true crime podcasts, and the finicky art of houseplant care.
