LOUISE VENTRIS
(b. 1967 Neston, UK)
Louise Ventris’s paintings capture the essence of urban landscapes, and fleeting moments of modern life. Her paintings evoke a sense of drama and tension, drawing inspiration from moments of ‘dead time’ such as traffic jams or gridlock. The artist explores the intricate relationship between humans and their urban surroundings. Louise works with oil paint, building up layers and scraping back; moving forward and refining the work. The paintings become a space of convergence and divergence sliding between realism and abstraction. Louise’s work offers a unique glimpse into the beauty and chaos of the modern world.
