About Lou Sheldon: An Australian Sensibility
Lou Sheldon is an Australian artist whose mixed media paintings bring to the British market a sensibility shaped by a very different landscape — the vast, light-saturated terrain of Australia, whose specific quality of seeing gives her abstractions an atmosphere and a palette distinct from the European tradition.
The Technique: Intuitive Mark-Making
Sheldon's practice is deliberately unstructured — spontaneity and energy are not incidental qualities but the point. She works intuitively, allowing each brushstroke to carry its own decision rather than executing a predetermined composition, the result being paintings that hold the energy of their making in a way that more deliberate processes cannot. Each work is immediate and felt rather than planned and executed.
Materials: Oils, Gold Leaf, and Linen
Her materials are as layered as her surfaces: oils, oil pastels, and gold leaf on canvas and linen, the combination producing works of considerable tactile richness. The linen ground in particular gives the paint a different quality — a slight texture and warmth that connects the painted surface to the natural world her work engages with. The gold leaf introduces passages of luminosity that catch and hold light with a precision that no paint alone can achieve.
Collecting Lou Sheldon at Creed Gallery
Both of Creed Gallery's current Lou Sheldon pieces — In Perfect Bloom and Wuthering Romance — are sold out. New pieces are expected — get in touch to be notified, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey and London.
Why Collect Lou Sheldon
Sheldon's intuitive, unplanned mark-making combined with the tactile richness of gold leaf on linen gives her work a genuine physical presence that photographs alone can't fully convey. As with any artist, individual pieces vary in demand and value — our team is happy to talk you through the specifics of any work you're considering.
