Lou Ros (born 1984) is a French painter.[1][2] Ros is known for his figurative-come-expressionist and abstract art. He is a notable exponent of the figurative expressionist Movement.[3][4][5]

Biography

[edit]

Ros was born in Pithiviers and grew up at La Rochelle, a little city. His mother, Régine Chopinot, is a choreographer, and his father, Yanick Ros, worked with his mother as a Technical Director.[6]

When Ros was 16 years old, Ros discovered Marcel Duchamp, inspired by whom he started doing graffiti.[7]

Lou Ros has been known for his portrait and landscape paintings for many years that take the human face or the figure as a starting point for painterly expression.[citation needed]

Style

[edit]

Ros's artistic style is a reflection of his encounter with people, places, and self.[8] Each of his compositions is influenced by images of films, both his own and those taken from several social media platforms. His artworks represent bodies, animals or landscape.[9][10]
