Laura Limbourg (limited series of prints)

Product detailed description

Telegraphic. You can have a unique piece of art with real artistic value in your home. Laura Limbourg's series of five serigraphs with a tiger motive reflects the artist's experience of visiting Southeast Asia. The colours, together with the primitivized execution, embody the spirit of Asian countries and refer to the strong visual tradition there. The limited series of 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 Asian experience.

The printing technique of serigraphy (or screen printing) consists of a process in which ink is pushed through a fine mesh onto the printing surface. The technique first appeared more than a thousand years ago in China, but gained its greatest popularity during the Pop Art period, when artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein made it famous. Telegraphics offer you a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with the work of contemporary artists. Each print in this limited edition reflects the unique approach and personal vision of its creator. Explore the full range of telegraphics and get a piece of an inspiring world with increasing artistic value to take home with you.

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 shows, including The Chemistry Gallery. She has prepared a large solo exhibition in collaboration with Trafo Gallery.
