Louise Bristow

Brighton based artist Louise Bristow begins her artistic process with the creation of miniature stage-like setups, which serve as the foundation for her paintings. By incorporating found objects such as photographs, packaging, and prints, alongside meticulously crafted hand-built structures, Bristow creates compositions that are rich in depth and complexity.

In the finished paintings, Louise achieves a striking visual effect where objects or figures appear to straddle two realms: partly emerging from the background or a past time, while simultaneously receding back into it.
