Louise Francis-Smith: Reflection
Reflection is an intimate portrait of the neighbourhood Louise Francis-Smith inhabits, capturing the spontaneous spirit of daily life, the content dynamic in colour, street scenes with and without people. Drawn especially to the juxtaposition of perceived beauty alongside the harsh reality of the often undervalued and neglected. The derelict and patina, old and new, ruin and renovation, and the way they collide and merge in the heart and soul of this neighbourhood have all informed this work.
