Louise Bird

A selection of work

3 – 20 December 2026

Gagliardi Gallery, King’s Road

Louise Bird explores the human form through a distinctive approach to contemporary figurative painting. Working at an enlarged scale, she focuses on the intricate details of hands, feet and limbs, transforming familiar aspects of the body into striking compositions.

Her paintings combine meticulous observation with bold colour and unconventional perspectives. Set against vivid, often monochromatic backgrounds, the figures are cropped and arranged in ways that emphasise their sculptural qualities, creating an interplay between realism and abstraction. Through this approach, Bird invites the viewer to reconsider the beauty, complexity and expressive potential of the human body.

Selected for the London Art Biennale in 2025, Louise Bird now presents a collection of her paintings at Gagliardi Gallery on London’s King’s Road.
