Artist
Louise Dear
Contemporary romantic exploring love, longing and feminine experience in paint.
Louise Dear creates work that sits comfortably between fashion illustration and fine art—bold, feminine, and unafraid of emotion. Her paintings explore the interior lives of women, capturing moments of reflection, desire, and quiet strength. The aesthetic is contemporary but the themes are timeless.
"What Now My Love" exemplifies Dear's approach: a title that poses a question the painting refuses to answer, inviting viewers into the uncertainty. Her palette tends toward the theatrical—rich tones, dramatic contrasts—while her figures maintain an intimate, almost vulnerable presence.
For collectors drawn to work that celebrates femininity without reducing it to decoration, Dear offers something genuine. Her paintings don't perform empowerment; they inhabit it.
