Lorraine Defleur - Visual Artist
Born in Belgium
Lives in Perth, Western Australia
About
With a background studying architecture and fine art in Belgium, Lorraine is now a Perth based artist with a passion for linear creations and representation of micro structural space. Through lines or repeated patterns and black ink, she creates dreamscapes which sometimes represent reality such as the extraordinary beauty of the Australian land. Other times, these dreamscapes represent something more abstract such as the duality between nature and human intervention, or snapshots of brain activity that have a universal echo for the viewer.
Extremely impressed by the beauty and creativity of aboriginal art Lorraine tries to incorporate some profound Australian spirit into her work.
