Globe Studios

Globe is thrilled to welcome back Guelph based artist Laurie Skantos to the Fall Art Show and Sale.

Laurie is known for her minimalist wall sculptures that explore the interplay of colour, form, and materiality. She studied Fine Art at the University of Waterloo and has received numerous accolades, including residencies, awards and honorable mentions in juried exhibitions worldwide.

Laurie's work explores the interplay of form, colour, and reflection, blurring the boundaries between painting and sculpture. Employing an experimental and rigorous practice, she works with oil paint, cold wax medium, acrylics, and shaped, laminated forms. The edges of each piece are painted with fluorescent colours, which, when mounted on a wall, create a halo-like aura around the work.

In her most recent series, Laurie reimagines the overlooked structures of cardboard packaging—objects designed for function rather than aesthetics—transforming them into art pieces. These works balance precision and playfulness, animating the surrounding space and inviting a shifting visual experience that encourages engagement from multiple perspectives.

Come to the show on Friday November 20th and Saturday November 21st to see Laurie's work! Check out her Instagram to get a preview @laurieskantzosart
