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.

“Living at the gateway of the driftless region of southwestern Wisconsin with its amazingly rich visual landscape of hills, valleys, coulees, streams, and pastures provides virtually unlimited subjects. I seek those fleeting moments when the light turns an otherwise ordinary scene into something extraordinary. For example, moments of fleeting light that illuminate a foggy pasture in the morning or a hilltop at sunset.”

“I am always looking for this melding of light. Atmosphere, gradations of light, color, tone, value, and shape. These are the things that really inspire me as a painter and bring me to that level of wanting to take it into the studio to be able to play with those gradations of light that are melting into the distance.”

Clouds are constantly shifting – reforming before we have the time to understand why we appreciate them. At the core of my work is a desire to preserve a fleeting moment of light
