LAURENCE POSA – ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Laurie has a love of the absurd, especially when it is combined with irony and mystery. His work is often a series of social observations; these form narrative threads that can be woven in to a bigger picture. He tries to achieve this without being to preachy or patronising, letting the viewers make up their own minds as to his intensions.
