Everything Was There The Whole Time You Just Needed A Hug Painting

Bio: Seattle born visual artist Laura Schuler currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Schuler’s work takes a dualistic and divergent approach with one body representing the freedom of existentialist decision making and the other encompassing the inevitability of impermanence. Across her use of different media, her work explores graffiti mark-making, floral textures, and liberated movement juxtaposed through a balance, and sometimes, complete absence of color. She is an active member of the Los Angeles Art Association (LAAA) and co-founder ShockBoxx Gallery in Hermosa Beach, CA, and has an upcoming solo show in Feb 2021 entitled, Jardin En Blanc, at Gallery 825 in Los Angeles, CA. Artist Statement: As my truest self I’m an escapist. My work enables a path for me to examine an invisible tethering to the duality of chaos versus etherealness. It represents an empathic interpretation of our transition from provoking reality and being hyper-present to a collaborative masked convergence and inescapable detachment. Artwork will be removed from stretcher bars, rolled in a tube and shipped with stretcher bars.
