SUPPAN

Laura Limbourg (b. 1996, Belgium) addresses the issues of gender equality, sexual discrimination and women’s rights, highlighting the prevalence of prostitution, sex tourism and sexual abuse in Asia. The compositions mostly include female figures placed in an exotic jungle setting, together with symbolic animals such as dolphins, tigers, snakes or dragons. They sometimes communicate mythologically with the human figure as surrogate attributes of inner and outer weaknesses, powers or gods. Her distinctively naive painting style is characterised by the use of diluted acrylics, oil pastels and watercolours, which provide censorship of the protagonists through blurred contours and dusting.

SUPPAN is a Vienna-based contemporary art gallery representing a selection of international emerging and established contemporary artists and artist estates. In addition to solo exhibitions and major retrospectives, the gallery occasionally organizes curated thematic group shows, aiming to establish a dialogue between contemporary positions and selected 20th century masters. After a long history of organizing art historically relevant exhibitions, publishing books and being represented at national and international art fairs, such as Art Cologne, Spark Art Fair, Vienna Contemporary, Future Fair and more, the gallery managed to build trust and a strong network with curators, collectors, museums and artists to help realize important museum exhibitions as well as to take a curatorial and advisory function for corporate and private art collections.
