Gweni Louu has always perused her creativity, recalling memories of inheriting handmade wooden workstations bursting full of oil paints, brushes and palette knifes from her Taid; whom was also a keen painter. Gweni studied Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, graduating in 2008. She then moved to Manchester and joined Mirabel Studios to continue her practice. She missed London so much that she decided to relocate there once again. Gweni-Louu's studio is situated under a railway arch 'Arch 26 Studios' in an open plan creative environment bursting with a diverse range of artistic and creative talents. Arch 26 Studios has a studio cat named Paul, she has a distinctive moustache. Her influences began and remain with artists such as; Howard Hodgkin, Mark Rothko and Peter Heron. Born in North Wales in 1985, Gweni Louu lives and works in South East London, UK. Artist Statement: ''I synthesise traditional features of old objects, found works and materials by twisting the restoration process with contemporary elements and concerns, such as; aesthetic sensibilities, pattern manipulation and reconstruction. The process of experimental play combines the two elements to create something new''
