Micak Contemporary is proud to present "Becoming" by Aurora- born painter, Laura Wood in her debut solo exhibition featuring a new body work exploring the experiences of growth, anticipation, and transformation.
Inspired by the physical and emotional transformations connected to pregnancy, this series of paintings carry an uplifting and tender energy, filled with themes of renewal, possibility, and hope.
Works with titles such as “Carry,” “Hold,” “Born with Wings,” “Made of Mist and Wish,” and “Flourish” capture moments of becoming, growth, and the beauty of new life.
Wood’s expressive process is guided by intuition, allowing the paint and colour guide her. Her intentional mark making brings a balance and refinement mixed to creates abstract compositions that feel both spontaneous and deeply considered.
Wood grew up in Aurora discovered her passion for art early on, encouraged by her family to pursue her creative path, and she later earned her BFA from OCAD University. Becoming, she returns to her hometown with paintings that draw inspiration from the cycles and patterns of nature, using them as metaphors for human experience and transformation. She now lives outside of Ottawa with her husband and two children.
