Louise Feneley
—
Based in Adelaide, South Australia, Louise Feneley is an award winning painter of the environment around her of the land, the sea and abstract billowing fabrics, using light and tone to a degree of outstanding technical ability.
Her work is simply an acknowledgement of the fact that, from the studio window, the painter watches and contemplates the sea, water reflecting light, the sky and clouds, the landscape around her and listens to the shifting effects of wind and tide, changing throughout the day, through months of time, into years...a simple consistent act.
Not clever, not original, not political, not cutting edge, not ironic, not unique, not groundbreaking, but a simple act of one human being, reclusive enough to take note of her surroundings and tell about it in paint.
