Shared Gravity
A collaborative series by Lauren Ottley & Alicia Urbanski
Two artists, one canvas.
Shared Gravity is a collaborative series of large-scale paintings exploring the invisible emotional forces that exist between people, memory, intimacy, and transformation. The collection grew from two distinct artistic voices, Ottley and Urbanski, learning how to exist together within the same visual space while still maintaining their individuality.
Rather than trying to force the work into one unified aesthetic, the collaboration intentionally allowed for contrast to remain visible. Emotionally charged texture moves beside quiet restraint, openness, and abstract floral passages, creating work that feels layered both physically and psychologically.
In this series, Ottley and Urbanski sought to visually communicate their interest in the tension between autonomy and connection and how separate people, experiences, and emotional histories intertwine while the artists remain fully themselves.

“Memory Convergence” explores the point at which individual histories meet within shared space. Distinct visual languages overlap and respond to one another, maintaining autonomy while forming collective movement. Layered gestures create moments of compression and release across the surface, inviting the viewer into a shifting field of recollection. The work reflects the gravitational force at the core where connection reshapes individual experience.

“Bodies in Pull” examines the tension created when separate forces move toward one another under mutual attraction. Distinct artistic perspectives engage in a visual negotiation, maintaining independence while responding to shared momentum. Expansive scale and layered gestures evoke movement, resistance, and surrender across the surface, suggesting both closeness and strain. The work reflects the gravitational dynamic where connection exists as an active force, continuously shaping proximity, balance, and relational space.
