A Room of Women | Laurette Looker Pocket Exhibition | 28 May - 13 June

A Room of Women brings together a series of figures held in quiet, attentive moments. Their calm is not emptiness or passivity, but a choice to pause, to reflect, to exist without urgency.

Rendered in bold colour, defined outlines, and dreamlike settings, each figure holds her inner world close. The women are anonymous, familiar yet unanchored, creating space for viewers to bring their own stories and points of recognition to the work. There is no performance here, only presence.

Individually, the works feel contained and introspective. Together, they create a shared atmosphere of calm, one that carries its own quiet strength.

Laurette’s practice explores the presence found in stillness. Working instinctively with colour and form, her figures emerge somewhere between the familiar and the imagined, recognisable, yet not fully knowable.

These paintings don’t ask to be solved, but to be sat with. They invite a slower kind of looking, attuned to what might otherwise be missed: a steady gaze, a neutral expression, 
a thought not yet spoken.

A Room of Women considers what it means to pause in a world that rarely does, where stillness is not absence, but intention.
