Artist Biography
Biography:
Louann Sidon graduated from Christchurch Polytechnic in 2009 with a Bachelor of Design and currently lives and works in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Louann’s work explores personal themes around grief and anxiety as well as private and imaginary collections of relics and hieroglyphs. Created through an intuitive and loose watercolour technique with a limited and muted colour palette.
Symbols and objects become abstracted through blooms of paint and inverted picture planes. Each shape is placed instinctively next to one another as the work takes form. Within the patchwork of arranged shapes, glimmers of gold and phosphorescent green layered with ink and watercolour create a new depth in her work, allowing something altogether different to present itself in the dark.
