Discover the contemporary work of LO'R
My childhood was rocked by the Antilles trade winds and the time to live.
Reading and drawing occupied my days.
As a teenager, while we were in Guyana my father offered me a drawing method, the ABC method, but I never finished this method.
We returned to mainland France with images in our eyes and unforgettable memories.
Painting was a revelation quite late.
In fact I was intrigued by an ad, or a video of advice from Anthony Chambaud on YouTube.
These were lessons to start abstract painting. I watched these videos for at least 2 years as well as other artists.
During a chat between Anthony and others, one person talked about John Beckley.
I went to see what he was doing and I was hooked from the first video.
I continued to watch painting videos and one day I wanted to soothe my wounded heart.
What came out of it was rage. Once in a garage sale I offered a painting.
A woman shows the painting to her husband, he answers her, no too black while it was in color.
It saddened me, but at the same time, it was beneficial, because I became aware of the great sadness that overwhelmed me since the death of my brother.
I chose to listen to my heart, bringing my soul to it by learning painting in different forms.
This is how I joined John Beckley's master class for 2 years where I was able to progress exponentially.
I progressed in technique but I also learned to play with colors.
It was only when I stopped training that I started my style: Fish in all forms.
The duality between good and evil is a universal theme
that manifests itself in many aspects of life, including
the fascinating world of fish. Take
for example, carnivorous fish, often with
sharp teeth, which can be seen as symbols
of evil due to their predatory nature. These
creatures represent the dark side of the marine
ecosystem, where survival depends on strength and cunning.
In contrast, so-called "kissing" fish, such as
clownfish or angelfish, embody a
softer and more benevolent image, often associated with the
beauty and harmony of coral reefs. They illustrate
the bright side of the aquatic world, highlighting
social and collaborative behaviors. Thus, this
duality between toothed fish and kissing fish
reflects the complexity of good and evil, emphasizing that
these concepts are not always clear-cut, but
often intimately linked in the natural balance.
