Biography
Louise C. Blair (b. Kent, UK 1958) attended Canterbury College of Art (1975–6); then Hornsey School of Art (1976–9), and Chelsea School of Art (1979–80). Her group shows included Young Contemporaries at ICA, from 1977; RA Summer Exhibition (1980); Sets for Station House Opera, Waterloo Gallery (1982); Edward Totah Gallery (1985); and Figure II: Naked, Aberystwyth Arts Centre and tour, 1988–9. She had a solo show at the Cockpit Theatre, 1981, then a series at Nicola Jacobs Gallery from 1983. Blair’s works are powerfully emotional and although figuration may be a starting point, they can be ambiguous, ghostly and become virtually abstract.
