Lauren Nova explores the realms of reality and the mind through intricate dreamlike works that stir the intuitive subconscious. Mesmerized by the infinitesimal details and structure of the multiverse, she builds mirrors that reflect the subtle nature of reality. Familiar imagery from eastern art traditions, as well as Nova’s original characters, guide the viewer through the unique landscape of her world. She draws from her own explorations of the mind through techniques like meditation and lucid dreaming to curate images that awaken the viewer from the habitual trance of daily life into the crisp realization of lucidity. Alarming dragon-like faces, spiraling eyes, and gentle figures encourage a mental shift from layers of thought and grasping for reason to the hypnotic duality of experience itself.
Born in 1991, Lauren Nova is a multidisciplinary American artist known for her meticulous drawings and paintings. She studied fine art throughout her education and earned a BFA with a concentration in graphic design in 2013.
