Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery is thrilled to announce an exhibition of historical paintings by Louise Hearman.
About the artist
Louise Hearman is well known for her dark dream-like paintings that are often said to have a cinematic quality. Like film stills they capture transient moments of her personal memory and imaginary time. Since the 1980s, Hearman’s technically adroit oil paintings often incorporate otherworldly forms in imaginative compositions that imbue them with a supernatural quality.
By combining commonplace imagery with personal visions of the unknown and the unknowable, Hearman hints at the wonders of the universe and the compelling nature of our nonverbal thoughts.
Louise Hearman has been represented by Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery since 2003.
Louise Hearman was born in Melbourne, Australia and graduated in 1984 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Victorian College of Arts Melbourne. Hearman started tutoring at the old alma mater's Painting Department in the early 1990s, and taught Drawing at RMIT in 1992.

Established in Sydney by influential Australian art dealer and gallerist Roslyn Oxley and her husband Tony Oxley in 1982, Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery is one of Australia’s leading commercial galleries.
