Louise Grieg has attended classes at Realist Workshops since 2008. In 2010 Louise was part of a small group of artists that attended private sessions every week at my studio. It has been really great watching Louise's development.
This is Louise's first solo show and is held at Aigantighe Art Gallery Timaru. http://aigantighe.org.nz/photo-gallery/10-years-nz-hat-hair-art-louise-greig-from-the-shadows
The exhibition consists of a series of portraits, full figures and still life. She poses friends and family in costumes reminiscent of past eras. Louise's interest in religious iconography is evident in the show through her take on Caravaggisti master painters such as Guissepi Ribera, Francisco de Zurbaran and south american naieve art.
