Louis Magre was born in Paris in 1955. As a
teenager, he studied drawing and architecture, which he gradually gave up to
concentrate solely on drawing. He currently lives in Provence, an area which
fascinates him and which he loves to admire and paint.
At the
beginning of his career, he drew nudes and portraits in charcoal; later, as a
fan of impressionist painters including Sisley, Pissaro, Monet and Seurat, he
began to paint his local landscapes. Following in the footsteps of Cézanne and
Van Gogh, he depicts cloudless skies, green olive trees, blooming flowers and
Provencal farmhouses, transporting us into the world of Marcel Pagnol.
Particularly contemplative when it comes to landscapes, he has also painted
windy beaches in Brittany, flower-covered dunes in Normandy, the streets of
Little Italy and the neon signs of Chinatown in New York, where he lived for
three years.
His
artwork is a journey through some of the most beautiful landscapes in the
world, leaving observers of his work filled with wonder at the sensory
experience created by nature. Increasingly, he has focused on choosing
materials when creating his artwork to represent the undulating shapes of the
countryside which he loves so much.
Since 2007, he has exhibited his work at the Arts and
Regards gallery in Pessac, Gironde, Les Baux-de-Provence, Saint-Paul-de-Vence
and many other galleries in France. More
