Figure 21
Cobalt ink on cold pressed paper
Lauren Skunta’s delicate cobalt ink figure drawings distill movement and emotion into their purest form. With fluid, gestural lines, she captures the essence of the human body—both grounded and ephemeral, familiar yet elusive. The deep cobalt ink lends a quiet intensity, its rich hue echoing the depth of expression within each figure.
Skunta’s compositions are studies in restraint and fluidity, where absence is just as intentional as presence. Each figure emerges from the paper with an effortless grace, as though caught in a fleeting moment of motion or thought. In their simplicity, these drawings hold a quiet power, inviting the viewer into an intimate dialogue between ink, form, and space.

“I want the energy of each piece to diffuse outward and affect the viewer.”

About the Artist
Lauren Skunta
Skunta is inspired by the negative space human bodies form in different positions, aiming to capture the tension and the gesture in each pose. Though the brushwork across her work is impressionistic, the anatomy of each figure is grounded in reality. Through her work, she aims to bridge the gap between figurative and abstract.

JEN SAMSON ON LAUREN SKUNTA
“This piece has such a soft and seductive quality to it. I love that it is both abstract and figurative. I am so drawn to the human form in art. Lauren Skunta is masterful in creating works that evoke energy and emotion and the use of graphite sketching paired with paint colors in the pieces create a work that I find incredibly soothing.”
