LOUIS MENDRISSE There is something mysterious, indescribable and at the same time disconcerting in Mendrisse’s paintings. A sort of meditation leading us into the depths of our souls, in the remotest regions of our unconscious which only we are able to explore, or a mystical quest that extemporal characters would be pursuing endlessly and in silence. Clara Pozniakoff – Arts Journal About Louis Mendrisse: Louis Mendrisse was born in Paris in 1955, where he still resides. Mendrisse’s paintings, which have been described as « mysterious », « fantastical » and even « strange », may be unusual, but are hauntingly memorable. While the work evokes a mystical dreamworld, the images and faces he portrays are always harmonious, reflecting more joy than distress and sorrow. Mendrisse’s work, which has won numerous art awards, has been exhibited in numerous galleries and renowned public shows. His paintings can be found in collections across Europe and North America. -View Artists- Barkoff, Ira Bocek, Anna Bulan, Stephane Collandre, Francoise Donnat, Alain Duquoc, Jean Gautier, Marie Madeleine Guich, Gemma Kapfer, Bernard Keifer, Kathleen Laruelle, Colette Lee, Kui Dae Magni, Vincent Mendrisse, Louis Miramontes, Isabel Mondot, Bruno Owen, Tjasa Triolet, Jean van Engelenhoven, Lita Bleu Touareg 32x32 Convoitise 19x26 L'Accord Oublie 35x46 L'Ecriture Automatique 40x40 La Douce Melodie 40x40 La Maternite 24x29 La Transparence du Temps 48x36 Les Heures Blanches et Bleues 18x52 - 3 panels Les Humeurs du Ciel 29x40 - 2 panels Miroir 14x11 Petites Eclaircies 13x16 Rencontre forestiere 24x24 Reverie 15x18 Sur le Bout des Doigts 24x24 Transformation Initiatique 29x24 Un Instant peut-etre 32x32
