Additional Information

The Prospector by Laura Oczos is a medium sized abstract landscape inspired by remembered travels. This painting takes reference from the repeated journeys taken to see loved ones and the way dynamic memory changes and alters the experience. This painting takes on multiple view points and has further references to aerial photography. This was created by building layers of acrylic and ink washes, spray paint, acrylic paint with a final patterned layer made up of minute dots and hatches. This final layer both compliments and contrasts the under painting.

This is an undeniably bright painting with bold areas of fluorescent pink and green. These pops of colour are tempered with darker blues, purple and magenta as well as areas of blush, turquoise baby blue and orange. Whilst a vibrant painting, the mixture of different tones and the pattern layer tones down the overall feel of the work, making it more adaptable and livable. This work has a very dreamy, whimsical vibe. Despite the bold colour it also feels very soft.

This would work as a statement piece alone or with a cluster of other work. Individually, I can see it above an entry way table, or a bedside. It would suit a smaller (perhaps often forgotten space) like a hallway nook… anywhere that would benefit from a burst of colour but can’t accommodate a larger statement piece.
