Lauren Skunta
Painting
Lives and works in Cleveland, OH
Skunta is inspired by the negative space human bodies form in different positions, aiming to capture the tension and the gesture in each pose. Though the brushwork across her work is impressionistic, the anatomy of each figure is grounded in reality. Through her work, she aims to bridge the gap between figurative and abstract.
“I want the energy of each piece to diffuse outward and affect the viewer.”
