Giclee print with hand added gold leaf on Somerset Velvet 330gsm Paper, 60x60cm Edition of 50, signed and numbered, unframed.  

For ‘Soul Mates - Pink’, Louise employs her signature ‘bleed’ motif, where thin lines of pink paint run down the print, producing a sense of dynamism and flow.

The trail of pink paint has been created by two, graphite-grey elephants, who stand at the centre of the print, their pink-painted trunks entwined. Louise gestures towards the significance of the animal in Asian religious cultures, by adding henna patterns in hand applied golf leaf - a delicate and textured touch, that sits beautifully against the hot-pink and soft-grey tones.

The work of Louise McNaught takes its inspiration from the natural world: raising the status of animals and creatures to the majestic and sublime, Louise creates bold images, using striking colour and compositional techniques.
