Louise Knowles

Based in Sydney, Louise Knowles is an Abstract Expressionist who communicates via her instinctual language of colour and textural beauty. Working mainly in oils, layerings of collage and capturing imagery with photography to distill her process forms part of Louise’s dialogue. Louise is heavily influenced by her surroundings, objects, energy and people who fill that space all add imprints to her practice. Design sensibilities of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s are apparent in the shapes and elements of her work. Spatial awareness, predominantly the negative space, is fascinating to the artist. It is within these parameters that her work evolves. Abstraction is her obsession, focus and challenge.
