LABUDA (b. 1968) is an artist and a collector. She has lived, worked and created around the world. Her works have been exhibited and collected in the US and Internationally. Growing up in Chicago, San Diego, and Los Angeles, her life has presented constant intense opposites and extremes - personal, professional, mental, and physical. She has amassed a record-breaking number of disabilities over 30yrs that connected and disconnected her life and art. Over time, her art and life blended into something that cannot be separated and manifested her signature style of
“evolutionary art.” Her new paramount process that she identifies as “My Circle,” is making LaBuda and her art one-of-a-kind.
She calls upon all the elements, the environment and the world with as many pieces available the moment she’s creating. She produces incredible colors, infinite layers, variations of strokes, marks, shapes, and material combinations. She twists and turns to find fresh takes on old and new mediums, new possibilities, reflecting dynamic new visions. Her compositions go through rigorous often surprising iterations of construction and deconstruction. She reconfigures parts and pieces, experimenting, distorting, and revising her photography and collection of images sometimes stealing portions of her own works to push a previous inspiration that elicits further exploration in relation to space and technology and light and dark. Her works are so richly textured you can almost smell and taste them.
Each piece becomes its own story. She connects and draws upon her evolving collections to explore human relationships within our advanced technological age at global and intimate levels. Embracing her shifting physicality and tools throughout, she discovers ways to let disconnections to connect and reconnect with intention and hope of an even greater resulting reaction and connection for the individuals and the world around us.
Art is Her Life and Life is Her Art.
