Laura Bofill's deep interest in painting developed very early. Coming from a family of artists, she became familiar with the practice at a young age. After training at the Barcelona Industrial School, she left Spain for London, a teeming megalopolis whose cultural melting pot would profoundly influence the artist. The urban landscape, the forms and volumes of cities - whether they are treated in full or in emptiness, whether it is a question of their omnipresence or, on the contrary, of their disappearance - become the central subject of the artist. Her growing interest in the effervescence of the metropolises pushed her in the summer of 2005 to fly to New York where she enrolled to take drawing classes at the School of Visual Arts. The Big Apple will be the key to all of Laura Bofill's work.

Her practice which declines mediums: photography, painting, drawing, as well as materials: acrylic, paper, canvas or resin, allowing the artist to multiply the effects of matter and texture. Her work questions our relationship to cities, the role and power of their architecture, but also the influence of their infrastructure: their roads, their bridges, their lifts, their escalators, their halls, meeting places or, on the contrary, places of isolation. Attracted in her work by movement, temporality and displacement, the artist explores the audiovisual field for a time to quickly abandon it and return to the pictorial image which alone allows her to concentrate subject and technique, to materialize the form and time in the gesture.
