Louise Forthun

Life on the grid.

Melbourne based visual artist Louise Forthun creates paintings and works on paper, often based on city landscapes and urban horizons. Envelope’s brief? Create an identity and website representing decades of practice.

Envelope starts by distilling a career-spanning library of Louise’s images and critical writings into a cohesive archive. This content forms the foundation of an online experience that is much more than art displayed on endless white backgrounds. Unless it’s opening night, artists are rarely available to engage with prospective collectors in physical galleries. However visitors to Louise’s website can at the very least engage with candid photography of her at work, providing insights into a very physical practice.
