Forest Creatures #5 (2020) Painting by Laura Partin

Laura Partin is a contemporary artist exploring drawing techniques, as well as performance, installation or video art.
Born in Iasi, Romania in 1986, she studied fine arts and art theory, at the George Enescu University. Between 2012 and 2014, she was a fellow in Fine Arts at the Romanian Cultural Institute in Venice. In 2021, she obtained a PhD in Fine Arts at the Paris 8 University.
Over the years, Laura has tackled subjects such as gender stereotypes, migrant labour and concepts from social psychology such as cognitive dissonance.
In the context of the pandemic, she became interested in the multimedia/performative potential of contemporary feminist poetry and in the time spent in nature as a form of introspective healing.
Laura is currently developing Glow in the Dark, an immersive installation aiming to illustrate, through various artistic mediums such as drawing, sound, performance, a series of stories about remarkable women in the history of art.

"My art arises from a need to understand societal phenomena and how I and those around me relate to them. I overanalyze, research, and explore in a quasi-playful manner with the participating audience, sometimes approaching them through forms of introspection and catharsis. I believe that turning vulnerabilities into a bond is the key to the times we live in.
Some of these phenomena are anticipatory grief, rethinking our relationship with nature in the context of the pandemic, alienation and displacement in relation to migration, nationalism, gender stereotypes, various concepts analysed by social psychologists in their experiments or forced evictions as an effect of racial prejudice and the housing crisis.
