Louise Thomas

Between dinosaurs, amusement parks, abandoned Victorian hospitals, violent video games and living with nuns, LOUISE THOMAS is one artist who never seems to run out of interesting subject matter. Originally from London, Louise now lives and works in Berlin where for her most recent solo exhibition, "GTA Tru Life", she painted screen shots taken from popular video game "Grand Theft Auto" while exploring the notorious virtual playground on a bicycle- perhaps it was her cycling accident in Berlin, in which she broke both of her arms that goaded her to paint from a more appealing virtual bike. In some pieces she fuses real landscapes dear to her heart with unreal but no less beautiful scenes from the imaginative spaces of the game.
