Bio

Laura Morgenstern, born in 1993, grew up in the Ore Mountains and quickly became interested in everything that could be conceived and created from her desk without leaving the house during those freezing cold mountain winters – from drawings and paintings with chalk/pencils/ballpens/watercolors/pastels/acrylics/anything-that-leaves-a-mark to poetry, short stories and small computer games in good old Delphi.

As self-confessed universal dilettante, curiosity (and, well, some outlandishness) is what shapes my artworks to this very day. Even though all my compositions are meticulously constructed around the circle and golden ratio as key geometric concepts, the motivation behind my work is inspired by a gazillion of ideas from art history, philosophy, literature, mathematics, psychology – and the shapes of living nature during summertime.

I lived and worked in the beautiful north east of England, and have recently found a new home in Germany’s Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan area just a stone’s throw away from artsy Düsseldorf and Cologne. My works have been shown in multiple group exhibitions, among others, in the Surface gallery in Nottingham (United Kingdom).
