Lara Voce
Lara Voce creates still life paintings with an abstract sensibility. She reduces everyday objects to their simplest forms, exploring texture by building up layers of paint. Her works are marked by an uncommon luminosity, achieved through a meticulous process of painting, layering, sanding, and repainting.
Often, the final surface retains traces of earlier compositions, creating a sense of memory and history within the work. Although rooted in still life, her paintings are also representative of landscapes and people, allowing familiar objects to become stand-ins for places, figures, and emotional states.
Lara works intuitively, allowing compositions to emerge through the process itself. Through repeated layering, sanding, and careful observation, each painting gradually comes to life.
Her work has recently been exhibited in Amsterdam, further expanding her international presence.
Lara’s work has featured in exhibitions at The Stratford Gallery Cotswold's, Two Storey, Amsterdam. And featured in editorials for Neptune, Little Greene, Soho Home and The Genie (Universal Pictures), Black Bag (Motion Picture).
