Excerpt from the Internet;
Louis was both an heir and a heretic, carrying on a rich artistic tradition while skillfully challenging its traditions. Evoking the lush atmosphere of the Impressionist masters, Louis's form is always feminine. They pose in a classical style, lazily draped over the couch with their hands raised above their heads. With masked eyes and gently parted lips, they are directly attracted to the gaze of a man. But in Louis's work, that gaze returns. His subject is not a passive object of desire. They are equal partners, and the artist and the subject have a sensual symbiosis. Combining elements of realism and abstraction, Louis's style is reminiscent of Klimt, and his love for women is equally palpable. But in homage to his environment, Louis is in awe not only of the female figure in his work, but also of the special women who inhabit it.
Louis's artistic journey began with his bachelor's degree in industrial design from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2015. But soon, he discovered that his love for painting outstripped his interest in industrial design, so he decided to change careers and focus on painting. His decision not only shows his courage and determination, but also indicates that he will achieve extraordinary achievements in the field of painting.
Louis's style of painting was heavily influenced by the Viennese Secessionists, especially Egon Schiller. He is adept at using pigments, not only piling up heavy layers of pigment on the canvas, but also scraping away parts of the pigment to create an uneven surface that imbues the painting with layers and textures. This unique approach not only gives his paintings more personality, but also allows him to successfully capture the essence of the people in his paintings, showing their quiet strength and physical beauty.
In Louis's portraits, the female figure is always so vivid and charming. He is adept at using rich colors and textures to depict characters that convey inner emotions. These female figures, with the luster of the figures painted by the French Impressionists, interact with the abstract space, showing a new style of American Expressionism. Their gestures, expressions, and colors have been carefully designed by Louis, so that each work is full of vitality and movement.
Louis's appreciation and celebration of life and love is also fully reflected in his work. Through his art, he hopes to touch the hearts of viewers and make them feel the passion accumulated in the creative process. His paintings are like a window that allows us to get a glimpse of the artist's inner world, and feel his pursuit of beauty and love for life.
