Opening reception on Saturday November 22nd 2 - 4pm. Artist talk at 3pm.
Exhibition on view from November 14th to December 6th 2025.
About the Artist
Laura Thipphawong is a Toronto-based contemporary artist writer and historian. She has exhibited art and presented her research internationally in commercial and non-profit galleries and various academic forums. Her surreal and narrative style of highly detailed and imaginative compositions is inspired by folklore literature history science and psychoanalysis. These various elements are pieced together to create dream-like images and hallucinatory tableaus that symbolically reflect Laura’s interpretation of emotions and experiences.
As a self-taught artist Laura made her way from a small town in northern Ontario to Toronto to pursue a career in the arts. She now holds a medal and a Bachelor of Arts in Visual and Critical studies from OCAD University and a Master of Arts in Art History from the University of Toronto.
Laura’s work has been featured in several galleries exhibition spaces and publications such as CBC Arts New Visionary Magazine the Lieutenant Governor’s Suite in Toronto and the National Gallery of Canada. She is also the founder and editor-in-chief of Secret Door an online publication for critical arts writing.
