DESIGN NEWS Sam Yuide takes a look at what’s hot in the world of interiors DESIGNER Louis Henri has a fascination with trees which he calls the guardians of the world. His latest painting, Natural, shows a group of trees he first saw driving out of Antibes on the coas t road to Cannes when he was working on a villa project at Cap d’Antibes and which he has painted in different styles for many years. For this painting he achieved an ethereal effect using gold leaf, manipulating the mass to suggest rays of light breaking through. It was painted on gessoed board in his London studio and measures 154cms x 154xms.
