Art, family affairs Jean-Louis Mendrisse studied the deal with his famous sculptor father, Jean Mosnier, and presented his work in the studio in Montmartre in 1977 before entering the artist in 1980. His pen name, Mendrisse, "coming so far" is still mysterious according to the artist's words. His work expresses emotions, celebrates life and humanity, and seeks the past and its meaning. Melancholy art Mendris's work is determined to be melancholy. Her gentle, feminine character appears on the icon of meditation on human emotions, and looks beautiful and melancholy. Mendris also expressed short-lived content through her paintings and raised topics such as temptation, quarrel, shame or suspicion, family or dance. Artists regard art as the same as the promotion of religion. His paintings are covered with glaze, reminiscent of the history of religious art. Successful artist Since 1980, Mendris has exhibited his work several times during the collective and individual exhibitions in France, as well as in the United States, the Netherlands and Belgium.
