Laura Gray is an abstract expressionist artist from Belfast, Northern Ireland. She graduated from Ulster University in 2016 with a degree in Fashion and Textile Design specialising in printed textiles.
Her paintings explore the physical and emotional connection an artist has with contact on canvas - to become lost in the act of painting, turning otherwise incoherent thoughts into something tangible.
Grays’ work mimics the rugged and nostalgic landscape colours of her childhood, disrupting the idea of a traditionally perceived landscape painting. The gentle hues within her work are dominated by darker tones, shadows and scoring - weaving recognisable form and structure out of chaos.
Her work has been acquired publicly for the Civil Service Art Collection of Northern Ireland and for private collections in the UK, Ireland and internationally.
