Laura Dzelzyte 

Laura Dzelzyte is a Lithuanian multidisciplinary artist based in London. She studied at the University of Cambridge and received an MA in Painting (with scholarship) from the Royal College of Art in 2025.

Working across painting, sculpture, drawing, conceptual publishing, and immersive installations, Laura examines what it is to be a human now. Her paintings trace old masters while conceptual practice is rooted in philosophy and research of structural systems that shape the perception of the inner self. Dzelzyte reimagines established narratives and myths and uses data to expose paradoxes surrounding power, femininity, migration, and freedom of choice. 
 

In 2020 using maths and physics Laura developed a sustainability project Soft Square (and a Triangle), and was named as "the one to watch" by WWD. In 2024 she created an immersive "phygital" art installation "500 Opportunities to Be Unequal", on the impossible choices surrounding fertility. In May 2025, together with British neo-conceptual artist Ryan Gander, she relaunched and later edited the cult Royal College of Art journal ARK in six languages, presenting it as a conceptual participatory exhibition. The publication is now at the National Art Library in V&A. In 2026, she created an app Together Forever, an artistic tongue-in-cheek response to the Western obsession with falling in love. "The Next Day Delivery" reframes Botticelli’s Annunciation by arranging delivery boxes on a wooden board with the exact dimensions of the masterpiece. Series address reproduction and consumer culture. She published reviews, texts and conversations with leading cultural people such as Chiharu Shiota and Estelle Hoy.

In wax sculpture series, Laura reimagines furniture, statues, icons in wax (a Puglian bed, a Victorian bench, a library door, a wooden Pensive Christ), to examine the relationship between object and memory. She is working on a long term large scale research and sculpture project "Philosophy of Home" in Bhutan.
 

In 2026 institutional exhibitions include the Beelden aan Zee Museum in the Netherlands, and "Birds of Passage" the Museum of Contemporary Art Matino in Italy, Aug-Sept, 2026.
