Laura Limbourg (*1996) is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, where she studied under Martin Mainer and then Josef Bolf. In 2020, she won the Critics' Prize for Young Painting. A key inspiration for her work was a trip to Southeast Asia, where she encountered the sale of the human body, child prostitution and sex tourism. She chose to respond to these themes in a light-hearted way, which also relies on a relaxed handwriting and exaggeration. In her paintings, she projects not only experiences from her travels, but also concrete personal experiences that can be linked, for example, to her hobby, flying. She has exhibited in several group exhibitions. For example, at The Chemistry Gallery. She has prepared a large solo exhibition in collaboration with Trafo Gallery.

For Laura Limbourg, the motif of the tiger is a symbol in her work that reflects her experience of visiting Southeast Asia. The colours, together with the primitivized execution, embody the spirit and essence of Asian countries. At the same time, the design seems to reflect the strong visual tradition of these regions.

This limited series of original prints was created during the months Laura Limbourg spent in the USA. Thus, the speed at which the USA lives functioned here as a kind of counterpoint to Laura's South Asian experience.
