Studio 116 is pleased to present a July exhibition featuring recent paintings and ceramics by artist Laura Ralls Duprey, whose abstract works explore the evolving relationships between color, gesture, structure, and perception.

Approaching art as an open-ended process rather than a fixed statement, Duprey creates works that emerge through layers of marks, revisions, and intuitive responses. Her paintings and sculptures balance structure and spontaneity, allowing meaning to develop organically through the act of making.

The exhibition highlights Duprey’s long-standing commitment to abstraction and material exploration. Built slowly over time, the surfaces of her artwork reveal traces of hesitation, clarity, interruption, and change. Rather than directing viewers toward a single interpretation, the work invites personal reflection and shifting perception.
