Colourful Animal Prints and Paintings

Why add a Louise McNaught to your collection?

Louise’s work is colourful, exciting, and poignant, as the artist raises important questions about human relations with the natural world in her dynamic artworks. Her original paintings and limited edition prints are highly contemporary in style and make the perfect addition for those seeking to add some modernity to their collection. Her work takes pride of place in the homes of many collectors, and has been exhibited at galleries and art fairs across the world. Louise’s passion for animal activism radiates through her work, as she presents her subjects with the utmost respect and transforms them into ethereal creatures, making for truly beautiful and powerful works of art.

About Louise’s Work 

Louise creates original oil paintings and limited edition giclée prints of her handcrafted designs. These pieces are full of colour, featuring animals in sublime, God-like settings. Her gentle handling of light and colour suggests a delicate relationship between ourselves and nature, creating an emotive and spiritual experience within each piece. Lions, elephants, polar bears, and giraffes are just a few of the animals to grace Louise’s work, all of which are rare and endangered species. The artist’s focus on endangered species manifested into ‘Survival’, a book showcasing 20 endangered animals paintings by Louise. Published in 2018, the proceeds of the book went towards the Tusk charity, and the project is testament to Louise’s commitment to her art and animal welfare.

Louise’s animal portraits are inspired by Salvador Dali the Surrealist movement. The fragmentation of her subjects adds a modern edge to her realistic paintings, as her animals melt away into almost liquid forms. Symbolically, this effect represents the fragility of animal life, particularly the endangered species that frequent Louise’s work. These gravity-defying drips and apparition like glitches equally make for a unique signature feature in the artist’s contemporary style.
