Louise Bonnet

The solo exhibition dedicated to Louise Bonnet features new works by the artist, who works with painting and drawing to explore emotions of melancholy, loneliness, nostalgia or grief. Her paintings usually feature nude and deformed figures with exaggerated proportions, which occupy the centre of the image stretching unnaturally against dark and oppressive backgrounds. The so-composed body figures aim to transmit a feeling of unease and discomfort beside a strong sense of corporeality.

Paintings are exhibited along with drawings to allow a further insight into Bonnet’s practice, denouncing the numerous sources of inspiration of the artist, such as the cartoon-like or surrealistic imagery.
