Jean-Marc Louis's choices of sober colors and refined lines, unexpected materials and captivating combinations that will be presented in his new exhibition entitled “Jean-Marc Louis Contemporary Art”, a selection of paintings presenting his latest inspiration, which will immerse the public in a shimmering universe where art arouses atmosphere and emotions.
The work of Jean-Marc Louis is an ongoing process, strongly influenced by his experiences and memories. Born in 1959, his first inspiring influences come from Africa, his native land, where he studied at the National Institute of Arts of the Ivory Coast and from there on to the House of Haute Couture Parisienne.
Jean-Marc has a deep love and appreciation of art in general and tribal art in particular. He regularly brings back from his journeys around the globe cult, ritual and ethnographical objects charged with magical symbols that constitute his private collections, and influence his visualization of the world.
The simplicity of shape, the harmony of colors, and the mixing of materials are all elements found in his works. It was also his time in Africa that started Jean-Marc’s taste for the recycling, constant approach in his work. Paper, canvas, cardboard, wood, and metal brackets, particularly those marked and scarred by the passing of time, are his favorites. The brush, pen and scissors are his tools of preference.
In an abstractive research, Jean-Marc is bringing us toward background or recent memories marked by enigmatic symbols it is up to each of us to interpret, as if he wanted to share with us a bit of that world which is his.
