Most of us look at a painting, a picture, or a scene and see the whole thing. Artist Louise Giovanelli looks at a painting and sees the one detail nobody else notices — then makes an entire canvas out of it.
In our second episode of How We Art, we ventured into the storage rooms of White Cube Bermondsey (@WhiteCubeOfficial), where they kindly displayed several of Louise’s paintings — the perfect backdrop to our conversation and “workshop.” With postcards, colored pencils, and some drawing paper in hand, we dove into how Louise looks at the world and how that finds its way into her art.
