Louisa Berger  (Switzerland, b. 1999)  lives and works in London, UK.

Louisa Berger‘s work is mainly inspired by memories — memories of feelings, moments, places. Everyday life, with its often-overlooked details, plays a significant role in her practice. She is drawn to strange, absurd, or unsettling scenes and compositions, finding inspiration in the things that often go unnoticed.

One subject that captivates her particularly is the concept of fences. These structures not only serve as physical barriers but also provoke deeper reflections on boundaries — both tangible and intangible. Using oil and airbrush, Berger delves into the spaces that fences enclose and how those barriers interact with and shape the landscapes they inhabit. She creates merged scenes of blurry images interrupted by sharp lines, visible only when standing close to the painting, remaining nearly unnoticeable from afar—creating an atmosphere of subtle violence that evokes feelings of uncertainty and uncanny connections in those standing in front.
