Laura Bofill

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 key to all of Laura Bofill's work.
