Louise Davies

‘This exhibition brings together recent oil paintings and prints reflecting my love of both urban and rural settings and my journeys between these two different landscapes.

I studied Painting at Central St Martins followed by an MA in Printmaking at Camberwell College of Art. I am a fellow of the prestigious Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers and regularly exhibit at their home at Bankside Gallery in London.

I spent my childhood living in Bath and the villages around it and then by the sea in Devon. I came up to London when I was 18 and have stayed ever since. However, I still have a yearning for the countryside with its peacefulness and natural beauty. In this show I wanted to bring together my love of both city and countryside and the impulse to respond intuitively to it through paint or print. I feel the paintings and the prints all connect with the strong use of vibrant colour and the language of my individual mark making.
