Luise Talbot (born in Essen in 1988) lives in Saarbrücken. She studied African languages, literature, and art at the University of Bayreuth, where her interest increasingly shifted to contemporary art and the aesthetic exploration of the uncanny. She then completed a degree in fine arts at the Saar College of Fine Arts, graduating in 2020 as a master's student. In 2022, she was a scholarship holder at the Werkstatt Altena.

In her painting and drawing, Luise Talbot explores moments of irritation and ambivalence in which the familiar tips over into the unfamiliar. The starting point is her intense, immediate perception of the visual effect of inanimate objects, from which she develops new stagings to give shape to the subliminal and the unconscious. In her motifs, she often works with drapery and veiling. Through the use of classical techniques, she creates precise, reduced representations of objects and scenes with an independent, haunting presence. The images aim at a pre-linguistic level that precedes a narrative or symbolic reading.
