LAURA KIMPTON
Laura Kimpton is the conceptual force behind the Monumental Word Series that began back in 2009 at the annual Burning Man art event in Nevada, with her revolutionary large scale conceptual designs. Viewers are encouraged to interact with each word on their own terms. These Monumental Word sculptures often evoke varied emotions and interpretations, and can mean different things to different people. Kimpton’s 12 foot tall # was selected as one of the most influential works of the decade (Artnet News, December 23, 2019).
Laura Kimpton is an accomplished artist who focuses on positivity, personal emancipation, mental health, wellbeing and art as therapy. For her, Monumental words evoked in her creations are a gift to her audience, taking on new meanings in the minds of every person who sees and internalizes them. Kimpton’s work consists of painting, mixed-media installations and sculpture. Her creativity stems from a desire to question traditional views on social interaction, sparking through her art a reaction and discussion from her viewers that ultimately complete her projects. Kimpton is always exploring new mediums in her search for invigorating means of communication.
