Multi -Award Winning Laura I. Art Gallery is thrilled to announce the gallery’s third solo exhibition of the year, THE POWER OF THINGS, Drip: Still Lifes which present a collection of spiritual and charismatic paintings by Degard.


LRCA-trained Contemporary Visionary artist Degard is showing her latest collection of paintings in a VR exhibition which will go live in its own virtual room, recorded directly from THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF ART on the global online art collection and discovery platform ARTSY on 29th March – 18 April 2021.


Laura I. Art Gallery presents a collection of artworks by Degard which will take us into an immersive experience of discovery where artworks will be presented not only to re-evaluate our values—to elevate everyday objects but also, and more importantly, to let us sense the dimension out of which objects emerge, and to invest them with a magical quality that has the power of drawing us into their radiance and power.
