Louise Benton (b.1995) uses the visual language of catholicism to tell contemporary stories of sexuality and pleasure. Working primarily in stained glass, paint and print, Benton deconstructs the components that form sacred space, repurposing and reforming them to serve narratives that discard the repression built into the architecture of historical religious art. Her work focuses on intermediary space between congregational and ceiling zones in church architecture as a site in which the duality of religious symbolism flourishes, with cherubs and grotesques bridging the gap between the earthly and the divine. Transient light that projects down from stained glass windows becomes manifest, burned into paper or canvas in the cyanotype process She holds an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art and has shown recently at Yellow Cube Gallery, Paris and the Courtauld Institute of Art.
