J Louis Art

b. 1992

J Louis is both an heir and a heretic; carrying on a rich artistic tradition while subtly challenging its conventions. Evoking the lush atmospherics of Impressionist masters, Louis's forms are invariably female. They are posed in classical style, draped languidly over couches, hands overhead. With hooded eyes and softly parted lips, they are caught squarely in the male gaze. But in the work of J Louis, that gaze is returned. His subjects are not passive objects of desire. They are equal partners; the artist and the subject engaged in a sensual symbiosis. Combining elements of realism and abstraction, Louis's style is reminiscent of Klimt, his love of women equally palpable. But in a nod to his milieu, J Louis imbues his work with reverence for not just the female form, but the particular woman who inhabits it.

No Pasaran - Lone Soldier Symbolizing the Human Desire for Equality and Freedom
By William Blake (b. 1991)
Located in Chicago, IL
Hugh Goffinet stares out from the canvas in the dress of a soldier, without being one. He is a reenactor of an African American volunteer in the Abraham Lincoln Battalion. His inspiration is the Lincolns—the battalion’s volunteers—but they are pictured only symbolically, in his dress. Their inspiration was Lincoln, who many decades earlier helped give meaning to the American Civil War, but who is invisible in the painting except by implication—the pose of Hugh Goffinet—which carefully emulates Lincoln’s pose in the celebrated presidential portrait by George Healy. Entirely hidden, at the deepest layer of history, is the true source of inspiration: the human desire for equality and freedom. To understand, honor, and preserve it requires remembrance, in this case with history animating reenactors who animate art that animates memory. "No Pasaran" - an expression of determination to defend a position against an enemy - channels the spirit of Winslow Homer's war imagery, bringing it into the contemporary world, asking us to reflect upon the decisions forced to be made in wartime, some of which will never leave us. As for the paintings, William uses materials and methods of the Civil War era. The linen on which he paints was in use at that time as well as the tubed oil paints. He is one of the few artists who tacks his canvas to the stretchers using similar tacks that would have been used by Winslow Homer. While he leaves the works unframed for this reason, the artwork could certainly be framed. This piece is unframed. Please contact the gallery for framing options. William Blake No Pasaran oil on linen 48h x 30w in 121.92h x 76.20w cm WIL047 Known for his highly charged depictions of Civil War reenactments, William Blake’s powerful paintings show the recursive bodies of reenactors as they gesture across time. Participating in over 40 reenactment events, Blake currently interprets as the artist-correspondent Winslow Homer at these battle reenactments. He immerses himself in the materiality of his own obsession by constructing period clothes, camping on battlefields, and documenting the reenactment similar to Homer’s documentation of the authentic war. The figures in the paintings reverberate the past with respect and with a desire to educate, humble, and play. With each annual iteration of American Civil War reenactments, the reanimation of the past encourages a review of history and aids in its continuous revision. For his second exhibition with Gallery Victor Armendariz, William Blake presents A Great Battlefield, a collection of new paintings depicting US Marines at the Gettysburg National Military Park. A Great Battlefield, takes its title from Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address which poetically looks to the battlefield as a site of rebirth. Following the tradition of nineteenth-century American history painting...
