Biography / J Louis

A former student of classical fine arts and industrial design in the US and Germany, J Louis focuses on the representation of emotion. His explorations in material and texture lead him to find unexpected opportunities in his work, and by delving into color he creates moments of connection between viewers and the representational story he paints within an abstracted world. His art can be found on his collaboration with URBAN NATION on Project M/14 in 2019.

J Louis is known for his oil paintings of female figures, focusing on the exquisite strength and alluring complexity of women. His technical painting skills, his eye for capturing an expression that portrays an intimate story, and his material experimentation are combined together to create a dynamic harmony. J Louis explores the boundaries of contemporary expressionism while living and working in New York City.
