Video by Ernie
In 2005 I left my construction job of 18 years and rode a wave that allowed me to paint full time.
For me the pieces represent a social commentary on our insta-perfect, enhanced and photo edited/filtered world. To the plain eye they are pretty pieces, but when you look deeper, the shaded elements represent darker episodes in my life and everyone’s lives (anger, resentment, hopelessness, periods of indifference). But to the outside they are photo edited and enhanced or disguised by the brightness and colour of the piece. Where you are drawn to depends on how deep you are willing to go into the work.
Louis-Seize's artwork including large scale commissions are held in private and corporate collections in the UK, the US, Canada, Asia and Europe.
