Louise Howard's In Catfood &amp; Wine is a collection of 20 to 25 evocative pieces of contemporary fine art, open for public viewing for the first time.Free general admission.

About In Catfood and WineThe exhibition reflects Howard’s signature focus on contemplative female faces and expressive eyes, a recurring theme in her work. Choosing everyday women as her models, Howard grounds her art in the authenticity and relatability of ordinary life. In this collection, she introduces more playful elements into her work, including realistic depictions of everyday objects and even her beloved cat, the mischievous Leonard Cohen.The title of the exhibition refers to finding contentment in simple pleasures and gratitude at basic necessities when going through difficult life situations which at the time also included a global pandemic. In Catfood &amp; Wine explores themes of resilience, vulnerability and the unexpected beauty that emerges from life’s challenges.While Howard’s journey as an artist has seen her experiment with abstraction, this collection marks a renewed focus to her love of realism, which can be seen in the intricate depiction of hands for the first time in her body of work. Utilising her mastery of oil painting, sprinkled with several touches of mixed media to create rich textures, her compositions create a deep narrative within each piece. Her use of moody, dark tones balanced with bursts of vibrant hues captures the duality of life.Having exhibited around the world, Howard has established a unique reputation in the art world. Her latest collection showcases her most emotionally raw and authentic work to date. In Catfood &amp; Wine is unapologetically personal, raw and deeply reflective of her own experiences.
