Past Exhibition
Defined By The Landscape
Artizan welcomes Louise Bougourd to the gallery for an exhibition that will feature recently completed works. Originally scheduled to take place in March 2020. Global events meant that this did not happen and a second attempt to reschedule was also overtaken by a further lockdown, so it is very much a case of third time lucky with Louse having made good use of the time working on and completing a new body of work especially for the exhibition. Her work is inspired by her natural surroundings, combining naturalism with imagination to create expressive, vibrant, and beautiful art that is engaging and a joy to look at. Her painting process follows the same journey – she sketches on location creating bold interpretations of her surroundings; making many sketches to use in the studio, where she then works on larger pieces either on canvas or wood panels, allowing her to be bold and gestural in her mark-making. Occasionally, Louise will rip sketches up to make collages removing her from the restraint of a particular scene, helping to eliminate any suggestion of representation. Louise’s intention is to make art that makes you look at your surroundings in a new way, with fresh eyes! She works on multiple pieces at the same time, permitting a sense of freedom as she moves between panels. This process importantly prevents her from becoming completely attached to a single painting or getting into too much detail early in its journey! ‘At the start of a painting my marks are intuitive and bold, as I move forward, considering composition, the painting has a way of determining my marks; the process slows and becomes considered – the balance between my initial responses and an analytical approach as I bring the painting to a resolution are crucial as I want to keep the freshness and vibrancy of my early marks’. Louise invites viewers to step into her vision, to experience the world as she sees nd feels it. It is her desire for the viewer to spend time lost within her vision, to enjoy a moment of respite from the hurly burly of everyday life. Largely self-taught. Louise has exhibited work at the Mall Galleries, London with The Society of Women Artists and was selected to exhibit with Chelsea Art Society. Her work is also regularly exhibited at Fairs throughout the UK. This will be her first solo show at Artizan Gallery.

It is my intention to make art that makes you look at your surroundings in a new way, with fresh eyes! I work on multiple pieces at the same time, this permits a sense of freedom as I move between panels; more importantly, it prevents me from becoming completely attached to a single painting which invariably means I begin to get too detailed early in its journey! At the start of a painting my marks are intuitive and bold, as I move forward, considering composition, the painting has a way of determining my marks; the process slows and becomes considered – the balance between my initial responses and an analytical approach as I bring the painting to a resolution are crucial as I want to keep the freshness and vibrancy of my early marks. I invite viewers to step into my vision, to experience the world as I see and feel it. It is my desire for the viewer to spend time lost within my vision, to enjoy a moment of respite from the hurly burly of everyday life.
