Louise Zhang

Louise’s creative processes are multi-layered, involving lots of drawings – budding forms, plans for potential works, and random words, phrases and sentences that she records. ‘These drawings tend to reflect objects or occurrences from the every day that hold the ability to be absurd, dark or fantastical’

Louise Zhang is a Chinese-Australian multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture and installation. Zhang explores the dynamics of aesthetics, contrasting the attractive and repulsive in order to navigate the senses of fear, anxiety and a sense of otherness reflecting her identity. Her work is inspired by horror cinema, Chinese mythology and botany, adopting and placing symbols and motifs in compositions of harmonic dissonance.
