J Louis Portrait Paintings

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.

Aurora - Winslow Homer Inspired, Croquet and American Civil War, Oil on Linen
By William Blake (b. 1991)
Located in Chicago, IL
"Aurora" by William Blake is a tribute to the Civil War scenes painted by Winslow Homer depicting women playing croquet. Often thought of as paintings that were lacking in closure during war time, a haunting scene of the marriage between play and sadness. Here Blake takes that subject matter depicting Aurora with a croquet mallet. Her painterly style is beautifully rendered in broad brushstrokes and a deep color palette. 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...
