Jansen and Lombard

Lou Reade is highly inspired by the places she visits. Her most recent work is inspired by San Francisco. She is interested in the way the buildings overlap each other, seeming to create quite an abstract reality. The process of Lou’s artwork is usually quite exaggerated; distinct from the city’s first impression of natural colours and careful geometry. Lou envisions the places she visits as bright colours and expressive marks, and so her representation holds a certain truth. Lou knows that the more you look at a place, the more truthful each expressive mark becomes.
