Louise Belcourt

Louise Belcourt (b. 1961, Montreal, Quebec) has resided in New York City since 1984. Called a “Physical Abstractionist” by Roberta Smith for The New York Times (1996), her work has evolved from pure abstraction, through a form of narrative representation to a personal iconography that combines abstracted landscape and urban architecture. Her work has been exhibited in solo shows in New York, Paris, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Quebec and in group exhibitions in Europe and across the United States, including at The Brooklyn Museum; The Fleming Museum, Vermont; The Drawing Center, New York; and The Weatherspoon Museum of Art, North Carolina. Collections include The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, The Progressive Corporation, and Deutsche Bank. She has received awards from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation 2000, 2017, the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation 1984, 1985 and the New York Foundation for the Arts 2015, in addition to the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation 2012.
