LOUISE REYNOLDS
**Louise Reynolds **(b. 1998) is a figurative artist from Hamilton, Scotland. She studied at the Royal Drawing School on The Drawing Year 2021-22, having graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 2020 with first-class honours in Fine Art.
Processing the oversaturated daily news cycle and our constant consumption of media forms the crux of Louise Reynold’s practice. Noticing how often news sources juxtapose serious global issues with flippant popular or celebrity articles, Reynolds takes visual references from both ends of the cultural spectrum and transforms them into highly detailed, narrative-driven artworks that reconcile both high and low culture, reframing hierarchies of importance in a world of magical realism. Working primarily in coloured pencil and oil paint on wood, as well as etching, the strength of Reynold’s mark-making is seen in her considered use of line that plays with the grain of the wood.
Reynolds participated in the Hauser and Wirth Braemar residency 2023, as well as the RSA John Kinross Award Scholarship in Florence.****
