Laurie Posa

Laurie is a self-taught artist discovering painting at an early age. It was in 2005
that he decided to apply a disciplined approach to his art, building a dedicated
studio with his partner to exhibit his work and develop his practise.
‘BlackBoxArt’ is open by appointment 7 days a week.

Laurie’s work is narrative and surreal, drawing on irony and a love of the
absurd, with topics as varied as climate change and anthropomorphised
cockatoos.

He often talks of his love for the primal aspect of painting, the application of
paint to a board is almost medieval in a world awash as it is with the digitally
distracted. “I love paintings” Laurie explains “because they aren’t backlit and
don’t move, they stand alone as tactile tangible comments on what it is to be
human.”
