Based in lllinois, Laurie Hogin is a Pop Surrealist artist who creates beautiful yet bizarre apocalyptic landscapes and allegorical animal portraits saturated in brilliant color and imbued with elaborate narratives reflecting pop culture and the human experience. Her remarkable skill as a painter is inextricably intertwined with her message for humankind.

Her dazzling yet disturbing narrative allegories portray the disastrous effects of drug abuse, altered food sources, overconsumption, and misguided political and economic forces. Her hope is to evoke empathy toward all creatures and the ecosystems that support them.

“My animals remain allegories of culture as much as avatars of my own psyche,”

-Laurie Hogin
