Multi-Award Winning Laura I. Art Gallery is pleased to announce a new art exhibition, Exploring the I and You and an Era of Change, opening on 28th October. This will be accessible online for all art lovers across the world.

Exploring the I and You and an Era of Change is a collaborative exhibition bringing together around 30 international artists in a visual celebration of different countries and disparate cultures.

The first of two group exhibitions scheduled for the Autumn of 2021, Exploring the I and You and an Era of Change reflects upon ideas of globalism and localism, exploring the concept of a “perfect” cosmopolitan society.

Based on the visual arts, the exhibition contains work from a global selection of artists whose practice is informed by their personal experience of the world. These artists each adopt a unique medium for artistic expression of their culture and identity. As such, Exploring the I and You and an Era of Change collates these expressions into a singular exhibition in an attempt to identify similarities and build connections between individuals in what can be regarded as a singularly global yet fractured world.

This is the first time that these artists will be displayed together. Thus, the exhibition exists as an initial conversation between the artists and the social and political realities which inform their work.

Displaying paintings, drawings, and sculptures, the exhibition will satisfy all art lovers without having to travel at these uncertain times.

There will also be opportunities to purchase pieces, talk to the artists and the Gallery Director, and meet others who share the same passion for art as you!

Every £60 pounds we receive, supports a one-month free membership fee for an artist of your choice.

The artist will be able to benefit from free representation ,bespoke mentoring and coaching services enabling them to realise their full potential and goals.

Laura Iosifescu

Laura is a professional artist and the founder of Laura I.Art Gallery.She currently lives and works in London. She developed her basic skills in traditional art during her time at the Fine Art High school in Romania but found herself reaching her full potential as a student in the Department of Fine Art at the University of East London. From there she went on to open her own local gallery where she is currently curating a series of exhibitions. As an artist, Laura is best known for her re-interpretation of the medium of paint as an aesthetic vehicle. Utilising self-designed machines and other unconventional techniques as tools to manipulate paint, she challenges the viewer by re-examining how paint can be transformed in her collection of wall mounted “living paintings” - flowerscapes with depth and colour introduced by her signature style.. The flower motifs are intended to represent and investigate an accumulation of life experiences and ideals to do with freedom and courage, life and death, identity and belief, which are channelled into her art through her three dimensional forms and colours. Eventually dissatisfaction with the format of wall mounted paintings, a feeling that the medium was imprisoned by the canvas, led to a series of experiments culminating in Laura’s revolutionary Blossom Escape, which transformed her flowerscapes into the real world in the form of a floral dress made entirely of paint. It has been recognized and highly praised by the press, and by well established professionals in the art world and was shown in an exhibition at Saatchi Gallery alongside work shown by artists such as Tracey Emin ,Marc Quinn, Gavin Turk, Idris Khan and Xavier Mascaro. She has displayed her work throughout the UK and in France and Portugal and in New Orleans and Los Angeles in the USA. Her work has been published in Landscape Art Review, La Dolce Vita magazine, HESA Inprint magazine, and in The State of Art vol 2 published by Bare Hill and there has been press coverage in the Financial Times, the Guardian and in the local press and on the web. Sixty per cent of Laura’s work is now in private collections around the world which makes her work a great investment. In 2016 Laura opened the first contemporary art gallery in Barking, Essex, an area which is now at the forefront of regeneration in East London. The gallery was inaugurated by Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London and Darren Rodwell, the leader of the local Council. She is currently curating a series of exhibitions in her own space at the Gallery, including the highly successful Blessings of Life and Codes of Faith, and is embarking upon a series of art workshops. Laura Iosifescu is an idealistic young artist who believes in a world where beliefs and cultures no longer separate people but can be shared and celebrated. Her aim is to break down barriers, including those between artist and audience, and foster a collaborative and creative community in this part of London. With highly successful curatorial exhibitions and painting workshops in The Laura I. Gallery in Barking, Laura is truly inspired towards making this world a better place through art.
