Greg Lauren 1970 —

Biography

Born in New York, NY.

Lauren creates paper sculptures of clothing, as he believes that fashion is an artistic vehicle for self-expression.  The hand-sewn Bar Mitzvah Boy not only reflects the creative process and its medium, but also the artist's personal identity and his conflicted feelings, during his time of becoming bar mitzvah, of wanting to "impress [his] warm loving, Orthodox parents and fulfill an idealized role in [his] own family."

Selected exhibitions: Nate Berkus Association, Chicago IL; Art Basel Miami, FL.
