Louise is working on a set of ideas inspired by the composer Karl Jenkins.
This group of art works will be categorised under the heading, ‘The Armed Man Series’, as a tribute to “The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace”, composed by Jenkins for the millennium. This was the initial influence in Louise’s desire to make these images.
The works will be shown in order of completion.
(Some of these images will be brought out as Limited Edition Prints, please contact the artist for further details.)
1. ‘Mass For Peace’ Oil on canvas, 40" x 50". 2007
An introductory piece portraying a metaphysical concept, as a purely emotional response on hearing the moving and haunting ‘Mass for Peace’ in its entirety.
The painting is comprised of myriad dots, layer upon layer, with each dot signifying a life lost. At first glance the work appears to be of an overtly religious nature, given the archetypal symbology, but a more detailed viewing reveals hidden messages and insights pertaining to an otherworldliness.
