Through her transdisciplinary practice, Louise deLorme is interested in creating a hybrid art where connections often intersect in architecture and design. Public art allows her to do large-scale work accessible to the public 24 hours a day. Her studio research in sculpture favors materials selected a priori for their familiarity, origin, and aesthetic potential. Elements can be interchanged and create each other the moment they are connected, questioning the appearance and material aspect of things, neither identifiable nor practical. With painting, she’s interested in the exploration and meditative qualities of colors where color and form are inseparable, responding to ambient luminosity shifts. Recent photographic series use light as a material, where shadows, grain, and blur contribute to and emphasize the nature of every image.

Color Form Series
Paintings on Belgian Linen - 
Mixed Media - 66 x 52”
2019 — 2020

With this series of paintings where the color and materiality of unprimed linen is omnipresent, deLorme explores, with compositions of geometry, how the materials of painting, reduced to their essences, cohere into abstract images.

Close to the pictorial gesture, the tactile expressivity of paint emerges and amplifies the physical properties of colors.
The combination of gestures, the aqueous imprint materiality, and the incident of light reflections on the surface come into play.

Drawing
Drawings on paper - 
Mixed Media
2016 — 2022

Working in series is an essential, if not logical, characteristic of her approach with the medium of drawing with a keen interest in systems, repetitions, and geometry using a reduction of means.

With a background as a printmaker, serial work has always defined her drawing process. Using simple materials such as graphite, ink, and markers, layered compositions of color, geometry, and pattern between voids and spaces evolve, constructing drawings where lines are tested and modified.
Drawn gestures comprise a system of grids formed by the intersection of multiple lines, graphs, and networks that weave, at times, complex spatial arrangements.
Some work has shifted towards digitally generated drawings and made them into material objects such as numeric prints.
