Louise Sparre works with art in an expanded field: a concept of art that transcends the classical categorization of the media, which in Louise’s case often includes a sensual involvement of the viewer.

Since 2003, when Louise Sparre graduated from the Funen Art Academy, she has experimented with examining and challenging the artistic media with a main focus on and interest in sculpture and collage.

Her works are characterized by a tireless study of our sensory experience of the world around us. With a strong will and great courage, she leads the viewer into this poetic, but also contradictory universe. A universe which holds ground-breaking psychedelic sculptures that basically relate to the traditional criteria for sculptures, but in the process transform into unrecognizable creatures of photo collages, fur upholstery, and feather attached floating objects. These, often hanging, abstract sculptures are like mirror-less and shade-forming prisms; through their tactility, color, and material composition invoke so much attention that the room is filled out.
The objects hover between the artificial and the organic, the figurative and the abstract - somewhere between 2D and 3D.

Louise Sparre challenges the viewer's perception of what a sculpture/collage is. She stages sculptures and collages almost as installations rather than individual works. These installations are causing sensory-based experience with the viewer as an actor.
