Cakkie Lou
Visual Artist
Geraldine, South Canterbury
My art is strongly shaped by this connection to wild places and the freedom and emotion it inspires within me. I am never as strong or as free or as deeply human as when I am fossicking and painting pictures in and of the natural world. I believe this freedom and the powerful energy of life force both within and without permeates my work. My landscape paintings are always metaphorical in concept, highlighting both the resilience and grace in life.
My main medium is oil paint due to the richness of colour and being able to work with layers, building them up and scraping them back to achieve a symbolical rawness. I apply paint in a quick energetic, expressive manner, with bold gestural marks letting the work unfold organically. I am keenly aware of the loss of man’s connectedness to the Creator and Creation in our world. This is often seen in our disregard for the natural environment. I use landscape elements and occasionally allegorical iconography to showcase this struggle and to highlight humanities' need for wild places.
I have been inspired by artists such as William Turner, Anslem Kiefer and Euan Macleod who use landscape to symbolise man’s quest for the spiritual and our place in the greater cosmos.
Original Monoprints by Cakkie Lou
Geraldine, South Canterbury
Original Mixed Media Monoprints on Paper
Dimensions: 610×500mm
Unframed
These mixed media monoprints by Cakkie Lou are original, one-of-a-kind artworks created through a layered printmaking process.
Each composition begins on a glass plate where ink and mixed media are applied, drawn into, and sometimes scraped away before being pressed onto paper. Because the plate is reworked for every impression, no two prints are ever the same. Rich with texture, subtle markings, and depth, these works reveal the beauty of the process itself - layered, expressive, and full of quiet detail.
This artwork may become available as a reproduction print in the future.
