About the Artist

Louise Sartor’s paintings with their classic techniques, like oil, gouache or silverpoint are made on found mass-market packagings which emphasise sculptural aspect of the work as the shape of the found support determines the composition. At a time when the ‘Instagrammable’ has overtaken the reproductible, Louise Sartor brings to mind the reduced, standardised format of images on smartphones and tablets. In her paintings, they have also influenced the treatment of colours, which she now saturates with neither artifice nor any tenderness towards nature or portraits. Louise Sartor finds splendour and new paths in the decadent, as her wilting subjects — still-lives with fading flowers, landscapes with interchanging atmoshepric effects, portraits of friends — capture the wearing of time.
