Ginette Laboz
Ginette Laboz is a Brooklyn-raised, self-taught artist known for her distinctive confectionary tool decorated paintings—highly tactile works that merge pointillism with sculptural texture. Using piping tools and thick, glossy pigments, she builds her surfaces mark by mark, creating canvases that rise like frosted relief and shimmer with movement.
Working from her New York studio, Laboz reinterprets cinematic moments and iconic scenes, translating film stills and nostalgic imagery into layered, sensory landscapes. By slowing down what is typically fleeting, she transforms familiar visuals into permanent, dimensional emotional imprints. Each piped gesture becomes its own unit of meaning—precise, playful, and rooted in rhythm and intuition.
Her background in psychology from The New School informs her approach to repetition, color, and the emotional narratives embedded within the depicted imagery. Themes of femininity, memory, transformation, and the quiet drama of ordinary life run throughout her work, expressed through a visual language that is both meticulous and expressive.
Laboz continues to expand her body of work, exploring the intersection of fine art, craft, and contemporary material experimentation, while creating textured worlds that invite viewers to look closely, feel deeply, and see iconic scenes through a fresh, tactile lens.
