PRESS EXCERPTS
"Through her gorgeous, brilliantly executed paintings, which involve flora, birds, and vintage ephemera, Matsumoto beautifully illuminates the fissures that have formed between humans and nature."
-Aya Kusch, Mayday Magazine

"...New York based artist Lauren Matsumoto uses unexpected elements to focus on nature and how we relate to it."
-Leslie Frenz, Artsy Forager

"Brooklyn-based artist Lauren Matsumoto explores how humans relate to nature in her Fauna and Flora series, which combines painting, drawing, and collage to symbolize the natural world's perpetual cycles of growth and decay."
-Leah Pellegrini, My Modern Met
