In a playful, good-natured imagination, Louis Lanne captures everything that crosses his mind: his works reflect the spontaneity of his pencil strokes, which generate quirky little scenes. From the Saint-Luc School in Belgium to the Estienne School, the artist has built a solid background in comic book publishing, which later evolved into painting and was further developed at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. This journey led him to experiment with an unconventional medium: the magnetic Velleda board. On this cold surface, layers of seemingly incompatible materials, such as oil paint, marker, glue, resin, or tar, are superimposed between translucency and concealment, forming microcosms saturated with colors and signs. (Anne-Laure Peressin)
Louis Lanne lives and works in Paris, is an artist-in-residence at Poush Manifesto. He graduated from the École Estienne and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris with honors. In 2025, he will be part of the official selection for the 68th Salon de Montrouge.
