The overwhelming delight of Delouis’s paintings comes from the liberating power of colour and form, her interior scenes and still lifes incorporate the exotic and the exquisite, interweaving patterns and textures, often incised into the surface with the point of her brush. Infused with light and saturated colours, in most respects her work is purely French, following in the same aesthetic tradition that shaped the ornamentalism of Bonnard and Vuillard, the luminosity of Renoir, the plasticity of Matisse and the cloisonnism of Gauguin.
