Laura Pugno (Trivero, 1975) lives and works in Turin.

Her artistic research has the landscape as its main field of investigation, understood not so much as a natural element, as a reproduction of a more or less extended portion of reality, but as a social construction, as a metaphor through which to invite the viewer to better observe the context, the details.

Laura uses different techniques, from abrasion on photographic print, experimented with starting from the Hesitating series (2011), to engraving on plexiglass, to experimenting with materials such as polyurethane foam. In her works, all the will and research of an artist who wants to highlight the integration of the different elements – both physical and cultural – that make up the landscape, often through a procedure of partial cancellation of the elements themselves, an expedient to force to Another point of view.

Among the numerous personal exhibitions and international reviews in which Laura has participated, we highlight:
