FREEFALL — a solo show by Dani Loujo

“Freefall is a body of work born from the tension between structure and freedom. It explores bold mark-making alongside transparent color gradients, balancing fluid gestures with intentional compositions. Organic forms float across the canvas, at times recalling leaves, stones, or other natural elements, though never intentionally. These shapes emerged through an intuitive process, revealing their connections to the natural world only in hindsight.

Created during my return to the studio after a period of life-altering transition, Freefall reflects on the uneasy beauty of letting go. Using a combination of acrylic inks, paints, and oil on canvas, I worked with a palette grounded in deep greens and accented with earthy orange-reds alongside works of deep blues and warm whites. The tension within the materials—and within each composition—speaks to the idea that freedom can often be found by moving through, rather than away from, discomfort.” - Dani
