Scaling Structure | Louise French Lightbox Commission from Flax

Event Details

Lightbox Commission.

Flax is delighted to present our second Lightbox Commission, now illuminated at our Bedford Street site – Louise French’s ‘Scaling Structure’.

Like the paintings in French’s current exhibition ‘All in Colour’, this lightbox piece plays with colour saturation, layering and reversal. It draws on diagrammatic compositions, such as for Sogetsu ikebana, along with ongoing studio experiments with colour and form using a restricted palette and inventing rules for dividing space.

Louise French completed a Bachelor of Fine Art at the National Art School, Australia, 2022. In March 2023 she joined Flax Art Studios (Belfast) Emerging Artist Programme. She has had solo exhibitions at Threshold Gallery, Belfast, and Ards Art Centre, Newtownards. Her work has been shown in group exhibitions including at RuptureXIBIT (London), R-Space (Lisburn), Arcade Studios and Catalyst, Belfast.

‘Scaling Structure’ is on view 24 hours a day at 29 Bedford Street, Belfast, BT2 7EJ until 31 August.

In parallel, ‘All in Colour’ at Shankill Road Library is on until 31 August 2025 and is the eleventh annual exhibition made in collaboration between @flaxartstudios and @librariesni

Louise French is grateful to the Arts Council of Northern Ireland for their Support for Individual Artists grant.
