Louisa Burnett Hall - Reflection
80 x 40 cm, acrylic on canvas, 2019
Louisa shows her interest in optical ambiguity, as one of Croatia’s many waterfalls ‘descends upwards’ into the reflected sky, divided by a horizontal swathe — a counter movement— across the lake’s surface. The neutral bands above and below, frame the tripartite centre, acting as breathing spaces.
Louisa Burnett-Hall
Louisa focuses on the theme of water in her paintings and drawings. Running water is studied in different locations and countries, as a source of visual meditations, tracing abstract lines in nature. Within this she explores various lines of enquiry: perception of visible and invisible; passing time and the ephemeral; running water with its reflected environment; and water’s vital importance as part of the global environment. She considers the creation of her artworks to be poetic acts. She lives and works in Paris, France. She graduated with an MA in Fine Art from Edinburgh University and a PGCE in Art and Design from London University.
