A painter with an improvisational and intuitive approach, Lauda engages deeply with abstraction on his own terms. He deftly balances control with chaos, allowing traces of layering, erasure, and accumulation to remain visible—illuminating the painting’s process, memory, and temporal complexity. Described as a "chameleon painter," his work draws from various abstractionist lineages—echoes of Constructivism and Richard Diebenkorn—while resisting neat categorization. Lauda uncovers his own expressive truth by embracing spontaneity, chance, and texture as core elements of his work.

This technique complements his formal experimentation with subtle geometry, chromatic surprises, and an expressive, grunge-tinged aesthetic. Lauda’s paintings invite contemplation through their nuanced balance of unpredictability and craft. By foregrounding the art object’s material history and painterly gestures, he opens a space where abstraction becomes both tactile and conceptually rich—an unfolding process rather than a fixed declaration. ...
