Renowned for her stark monochrome paintings of figures, crowd formations and cityscapes from high-up perspectives, drawn with compressed charcoal on gesso.
Born in Guernsey, Louise Lawton graduated from Wimbledon School of Art in 2001 and has continued to exhibit internationally. She is renowned for her stark monochrome paintings of figures and crowd formations seen from high-up perspectives. The paintings are made on boards with a beautifully prepared gesso ground and then drawn onto using compressed charcoal. Photographic in appearance, there is an abundance of white space and the detailed figures are denied any identity with their environment.
