Louise Paramor

Louise is best known for her sculptural arrangements based on plastic objects which she finds and assembles into whimsical arrangements. Her joyful use of bright colours, and manipulation of scale can be seen in her oversized plastic sculptural elements, large scale works that have been installed on freeways, urban sites and landscapes throughout Melbourne.

At Mount Monument, Louise’s works sit at the top of the terraced landscape, and one at the end of the lake. The playful, colourful forms are visible to passing traffic.

At the her exhibition Palace of the Republic at the Ian Potter Gallery by the NGV, she has commented, “What makes these works distinctly of our time are the materials employed – industrial plastics, which are widely used in the manufacturing world. These plastics are especially tactile and often lurid in colour – characteristics which, not surprisingly, evoke an irresistible sense of play… I have embraced the physicality of this “stuff” to create dynamic, anthropomorphic works that also offer viewers an opportunity for reflection on our wider built environment.”

Louise lives and works in Melbourne, and her works have appeared in permanent collections and galleries all over Victoria, Perth WA and Germany.
