Laura Mega, an artist active on the international contemporary art scene, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and at the University of the Image in Milan (a school on the five senses created by the photographer Fabrizio Ferri).
Her artistic practice focuses on the emancipation and evolution of the human being in his uniqueness, individual and collective, in a vision of developing more equitable human societies, respectful and just of individuals and the environment. Through contemporary and straightforward language, she investigates emotional, social, and political issues, where sometimes a subtle irony leaves the observer responsible for a different key of reading and interpretation.
Mega’s work has been exhibited internationally, including Ivy Brown Gallery (NYC), M55 Art Gallery (NYC), Resobox Gallery (NYC), Endless Biennial (NYC), Sejong Museum of Art (Seoul), The Others Art Fair (Turin), MACRO - Contemporary Art Museum (Rome), MADXI (Latina), Every Woman Biennial (London), Clio Art Fair (NYC), WTA – World Textile Art, Textile Biennial at the Textile Museum (Busto Arsizio), KOU Gallery (Rome), Larnaca Biennale (Cyprus), TRYST – International Art Fair, Torrance Art Museum (Torrance, CA, USA), QIPO Fair (Mexico City), Biennale di Dakar (Dakar, Senegal), 18th Venice Architecture Biennale (Venice).
