J Louis

About the Item

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 over head. 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; artist and 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 own milieu, J Louis imbues his work with reverence for not just the female form, but the particular woman who inhabits it.
