Born in 1959, Jean-Marc LOUIS travelled a lot and he absorbed light, which will illuminate all of his artwork.

His long stay in Africa has immersed him into ochre and brown and these  colours constitute the background of his paintings. His thai experience, has converted him to recycling materials of which he knows how to read their story and he rehabilitates them until he brings them to life. 

Jean-Marc LOUIS remains an original artist, outside any fashion current. According to this view, his work constitutes an absolute contribution to the history of contemporary art. We can feel a huge spirit of freedom, indispensable to the realisation of an accomplished artwork.
