Gregg Louis

About the Item

Gregg Louis is a multidisciplinary artist born in St. Louis, Missouri and based in Brooklyn, New York. His works, in diverse formats, investigate fundamental philosophical quandaries with a great sense of playfulness and humor. Aspects of his work often revolve around perception, existentialism, and the construction and destruction of belief systems. Louis’ sculptural work uses the objet trouvé, or found object, as a jumping off point. Meditating on our perceptions of everyday life, he often incorporates wigs, light bulbs, TV antennas, kitchenware, and other domestic objects to create uncanny forms. Through a process of alterations, sometimes violent, Louis twists elements and iconography from modern and pop culture, distorting their significance. He invites the viewer to perceive and interpret each work as simultaneously strange yet familiar. Louis uses similar concepts in his images, performances and video works. Centering alternately in the body and the mind, he investigates how we understand the world we live in through games, repetitive actions and visual illusions. He introduces the role of psychoanalysis in the assimilation of images and perception of objects, frequently moving towards the absurdity of human behavior.
