LOUISE ISACKSON ‘SHAPES OF MUSIC’
Louise Isackson’s journey expresses her deep knowledge and love of music into visual form. Combined with a design background she delivers the vivid musical qualities of colour, shape and tonality.
Shapes of Music unveils a vibrant body of work that explores colour and form and how colour and sound intersect. The exhibition encompasses a variety of artworks that are composed of overlapping coloured shapes that are assembled to reveal a relief shadow effect. These shapes converge to reflect the rhythm, resonance, tonality and sensation of hearing music.
In Shapes of Music Isackson draws from the history of crossmodal research spanning over 100 years. She delves into pitch, tonality and hue while embracing the ideologies of a Bauhaus design aesthetic. An ever-unfolding parallel between art and music may include lightness-quietness, gradients-harmony and brightness-loudness––all attributes of the visual with the auditive. Isackson’s rich background in music performance and songwriting infuses her art practice with rhythmic vitality, and her sensibility to the deeper impact and sensation of colour.
With the playful application of relief shapes that create an almost three-dimensional surface, viewers are invited to engage with art that bridges two senses—sight and sound—in a refreshing, immersive way.
