| The vivid shapes in Laura Ross-Paul’s paintings and monotypes symbolize the point at which the internal and external forces combine. They also bridge abstraction and realism. Abstraction represents the intellectual and spiritual for her; realism is the material and scientific. The figures hover between an emotional world and the real world. Ross-Paul balances multiple dualities with vibrant color, translucent layers of oil and wax, and glimpses of the natural environment.
Exhibiting and active throughout the Pacific Northwest for over 20 years, Laura Ross-Paul is among the foremost painters of the region. Her narrative imagery is known for potent, direct emotion. |
