Short Bio
Laura Dzelzyte is a British–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 practice is rooted in the research of structural systems that shape the perception of the inner self. Drawing inspiration from literature, psychoanalysis, post-structuralist philosophy, and Old Masters, Dzelzyte reimagines established narratives and myths and uses data to expose paradoxes surrounding power, femininity, migration, and freedom of choice. She published reviews, texts and conversations with leading cultural people such as Chiharu Shiota, Estelle Hoy or the director fo Berlin Biennale - Axel Wieder.
In 2020 using maths and precise calculations 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 the cult Royal College of Art journal ARK in six languages, presenting it as a conceptual participatory exhibition. And later edited the journal. 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" was named by Artsplace was named amongst the "standouts" in the 2025 art school graduation shows. The work reframes Botticelli’s Annunciation by arranging delivery boxes on a wooden board with the exact dimensions of the masterpiece, addressing reproduction and consumer culture.
In her wax series, Laura reimagines furniture, statues, icons in wax (a Puglian bed, a Victorian bench, 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". Her paintings are usually free from narrative and instead act as explorations of colour and movement.
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.
