LOUISA CLEMENT
Artsted Catalogue, 2023 Edition.
Within her artistic work, Louisa Clement is interested
in the human body. Though sexual freedom is present
in her ‚body fallacy' series, her exploration transcends
that. The body is documented in intense detail, like the
topography of a landscape, evading the cultural weight
so often placed on bodies, especially women's bodies.
We also see what at first appears to be the absence of
the body in Clement's 'Mirror' series. However, through
this aesthetically appealing, mirrored surface, we see
ourselves and the gallery space, warped by the will of
the artist.
Louisa Clement (*1987) lives and works in Bonn. She studied
at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste Karlsruhe and
at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where she was a master
student of Prof. Andreas Gursky. In 2019, she received
the Villa Aurora Scholarship, she was awarded the EHF
2010 Scholarship of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stfitung e.V. in
2017 and was awarded the Prize for Young Artists* of the
State of North Rhine-Westphalia in 2016. She has participated
in numerous exhibitions in Germany and abroad,
including among others at the Ludwig Forum Aachen, the
Sprengel Museum Hannover, the Kunst Raum Riehen in
Basel, the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne, the Kunstsammlung
NRW and the Kunsthalle Gießen. Text courtesy
