Exhibitions

Pollen - 2010

Louise Blyton is a reductive artist indulging in romantic materials of raw linen and dry pigment.Her works are often shaped canvases or 3 Dimensional wall sculptures that experiment with colour, light and form.Exploring the fragility of beauty through subtle shifts of colour in layers, Blyton's founding structures appear strong and bold yet on closer inspection are fragile with the evidence of the human hand inviting a place to dwell and allowing a quite meditation between viewer and art.

Cloak - 2009

"Between the desire And the spasm Between the potency And the existence Between the essence And the descent Falls the Shadow" T.S. Elliot Working with traditional materials of linen and pure dry-ground pigment, Louise Blyton creates fragile yet bold forms. A simplicity of composition and colour, invites quiet meditation. Blyton's work explores the fragility of beauty, which is mirrored in the delicate surface. From a distance appearing flat, upon closer inspection, they can be recognised as the mark of the human hand. In this installation, three-dimensional sculptures co-exist with two dimensional painting. At once suggesting the presence and absence of form, but ultimately evoking the ephemeral nature of shadows.

Sweet Delirium - 2008

"A show of colour-bound paintings doing things they shouldn't, turning corners, springing off the walls, causing Sweet Delirium. Working with traditional materials of linen and pure, dry-ground pigment, Louise Blyton creates fragile yet bold forms with a simplicity of composition and colour. The works invite a meditation on the nature of colour and composition, to explore the fragility of beauty mirrored in the delicate surface, that from a distance appears flat but upon being seen up-close are recognised as the mark of the human hand."
