« My canvases are crumpled, smeared and ironed. Like my life. »
Louis Atelouis is a Swiss artist who has participated in solo and group exhibitions in Switzerland, Germany, Spain, the USA and France.
His artworks predominantly reflect global social events, with ironic/cynical titles. He works in various techniques: oil, oil glazes, and mixed media on canvas. He mostly uses "pleat art," a crumpling technique he developed in which the canvas is crumpled, worked on in several steps, and finally ironed. Another area of Louis Atelouis's work is large-format pencil drawings with graphite and polychromos on paper, based on intuitive sketches with beginnings of cubic elements.
