Louise Bristow

Louise Bristow:

“I make my paintings by creating constructed arrangements, reminiscent of stage sets, which I then paint from. This process allows me to bring together different collage elements, such as my own photographs or found images from books and magazines, as well as three-dimensional models I have made of real or imagined buildings and architectural details.

There is a narrative element to much of my work. I am inspired by everyday things that I find around me,
and how these things express bigger ideas; graffiti on a wall in a street communicates one person’s political dissent,
and the design and imagery of a tiny postage stamp can encapsulate a nation’s ruling ideology…”

Public hyperbindings

Lorenz Estermann analyses Eastern- and Central European industrial buildings from the 60s and 70s and overstates their aesthetics when he builds smalls scale models of them. He then places these objects in the middle of nowhere (and in galleries like LEVY /Hamburg and Röpke / Cologne) and takes photos or videos of them. Fun time! He also works on paper. For more info see this excerpt from his book “Public hyperbindings” (Hatje Cantz, 2010).
