All the Birds are Singing marked Louise Blyton’s first solo exhibition with Joshua Liner Gallery, on view from April 4 through May 4, 2019. The Melbourne-based artist presented a series of shaped canvases and wall-mounted sculptures that explored color, shadow, and geometric form. Rooted in the principles of Reductivism, Blyton’s works achieved quiet harmony through carefully composed color fields and minimal, dimensional shapes. Using raw linen stretched over balsa wood forms and layered with pigment or acrylic, her compositions shifted subtly with light and perspective, often responding directly to architectural elements.
Louise Blyton All the Birds are Singing
Louise Blyton is a Melbourne-based artist whose practice explores abstraction, reductive form, and spatial perception. A graduate of RMIT University (1988), her work is held in collections across Australia, Europe, and the United States. Drawing inspiration from the natural world and fleeting moments of beauty, Blyton infuses her minimalist works with personal resonance. In addition to her studio practice, she co-runs St. Luke Artist Colourman, a fine art supply shop, with her husband. She has exhibited internationally, with recent shows in New York, Paris, and Melbourne.
