Laurence Sturla
Laurence Sturla, born 1992 in Swindon, UK; lives and works in Vienna.
Sturla’s visual language of his ceramic sculptures are part industrial, mechanical, part engine, part architecture. They draw heavily from Sturla’s upbringing in Swindon, once part of the thriving industrial revolution in England but now one of many English towns lined with empty factories. Sturla’s post-industrialist machines illustrate the fallacy between technological precision and our (in)ability to recall and visually digest space, function or logic.
Recent and upcoming exhibitions include The Purloined Masterpiece. Images as Time Machines, Gemäldegalerie, Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Academy f Fine Art, Vienn; Staying with the Trouble, Carbon12, Dubai (2022); Stone Dreams, Loggialoggialoggia, Munich; PK // K, Haus Wien, Vienna; Drawings, Gianni Manhattan, Vienna (2021); NOI, Museion, Bolzano (2019). Sturla teaches ceramics at the Kunstuniversität Linz.
