Visual Art – Los Angeles
Self-taught abstract expressionist painter based in Long Beach CA, Laura Ochikubo is an Asian American artist, saxophonist, and composer, experimenting with a variety of artistic concepts and creative practices to find those which allow the greatest opportunity for self expression and exploration. The majority of Ochikubo's pieces are improvised works of art where creativity and execution are in constant interplay, influencing and being influenced by one another during the actual painting process. Many of her works fall under the category of action painting, with physical texture, color, and shape assuming the dominant roles in this creative dynamic.
