New Work
Guernsey based Louise Lawton graduated from Wimbledon School of Art in 2001.
Clapham Art Gallery is delighted to introduce her most recent paintings.
Lawtons charcoal and gesso works are original, precise and have already become
highly desirable. Consisting of grouped figures viewed from above set against a
plane colour ground of either stark white or slightly worked charcoal grey,
Lawtons compositions are cool and immaculate. Varying in scale from small to
large and in view from close-up to far away, her figures are commonly organised
in swirling patterns as if according to some instinctive form of pack behaviour.
When positioned from afar Lawtons figures appear to be constructed from a
number of impressionist strokes.
However, when closer in we can observe every
detail of each figure in perfect reproduction. There is a sense of the
voyeuristic as we observe this transient humanity objectively from above.
In appearance Lawtons work displays an uncommon balance and completeness. They
are modern and immediate, and withhold a mastery of skills for both figurative
rendition and abstract mark making.
