Laura Langer
Biography
Laura Langer develops art in painting, installation, and photography, exploring the complexities of the human psyche. Her work engages deeply with themes of identity, memory, and perception, using symbolic imagery and spatial arrangements to create immersive environments that invite viewers to reflect on the structures of consciousness. Her large-scale paintings often depict fragmented human forms alongside everyday objects, challenging conventional representations of the body and prompting contemplation on disintegration, reconstruction, and the passage of time. Spiral motifs and repeated patterns appear throughout her work, serving as visual metaphors for cyclical thought processes and the intricacies of mental landscapes. Langer’s approach emphasizes the interplay between visual language, materiality, and psychological resonance. Through careful manipulation of form, texture, and composition, her practice generates spaces that oscillate between clarity and ambiguity, encouraging introspection. Additionally, her ongoing research into visual culture and memory, including studies of Aby Warburg’s Atlas Mnemosyne, informs her exploration of collective and individual perception. Across media, Langer’s work offers a contemplative lens on consciousness, perception, and the ways humans interpret their inner and outer worlds. ...
