Louis Bennett – MA/MFA

I am a British painter exploring autobiography within shifting historical contexts. Through painting, I reflect on inherited identity, accountability, and being a white, northern artist working in a country in the death throes of a toxic, colonial nationalism.

My paintings follow a thread of British history from the distant past to the present day. Different decades allide, eras bleed together, and parallels are drawn between them. I am interested in the myth of England that grew with Empire and how it pertains to my hometown, an ex-slave port in the post-industrial north of England. My paintings explore the false idyll of green and pleasant England with a critical eye. My paintings have become increasingly autobiographical, turning focus onto my own relationships and mental health. I allow myself to emerge as a protagonist, picking through the visual detritus of a dead empire searching for answers to deeply personal struggles.
