Solo Exhibition by Louis Grant

Overview

Louis Grant is an early career glass artist specialising in kiln formed and cold worked glass, with new work in neon. His sculptural practice centres on glass as material and metaphor. Working with neon and glass forms, he explores themes of queer identity, perception, and transformation through light and installation.

In this exhibition of new work, he draws on formalist principles, using the language of materials to speak of connection, reliance and resistance between forms. Glass's inherent instability—its disorganised particles and resistance to fixed form—serves as a powerful metaphor for fluidity and queer embodiment. Through immersive environments, Grant invites audiences into spaces of intimacy and tension, where light and form converge to articulate presence and possibility.
