Louise Mcnaught - Before Religion

Louise Mcnaught - Before Religion Size - 100cm x 100cm Medium - Giclee on Somerset Velvet 330gsm Paper with Diamond Dust Limited Edition of 20 Louise McNaught‘s art features nature and animals, where the animals are god-like, sublime and ethereal in their presence and depiction. Louise's work is motivated by emotive and spiritual experiences which has manifested in a mixed-media approach. Her soft style suggests a delicate relationship between nature and ourselves, making a clear point about man's destruction of nature - which flutters jewel-like in the balance. When focusing on endangered species the imagery often takes on a duality of not only what is happening to the animal itself, but also reflects how we feel psychologically about the effect the human race is having on these species. By subverting traditional representation she hints at darker consequences, yet paradoxically giving animals an elevated status.
