Biography
[edit]Cane was born in 1943 in Beaulieu sur Mer, France. He is a painter, sculptor and furniture designer.[1][2]
Louis Cane attended the National School of Decorative Arts in Nice then the Superior School of Decorative arts in Paris in 1961.[3]
He then studied at the Superior School of Decorative Arts in Paris and got his diploma in Interior Architecture.[1]
Cane was a part of the Supports/Surfaces Movement in France that lasted from 1969 to 1972 and co-founded and edited the Peinture, Cahiers Theoriques.[4]
In 1978, he began sculpting again. They consisted of female figures in a traditional style.[1]
Work
[edit]Cane focused on the concept of deconstruction of the canvas. His series, Louis Cane artiste peintre français, he continuously stamped his name on a sheet, exploring the idea of personal branding.[5]
By 1970, Cane transitioned into a series of cut-out paintings, the toiles découpées, which he worked with for several years.[5] His process for paintings was much like Jackson Pollock or Helen Frankenthaler, by painting the un-stretched canvas on the ground[6]
He participated in the second and third exhibition of the Supports/Surfaces group at the Théâtre de la Cité Internationale in Paris.[7][8]
In 1971, Cane had his first solo exhibition in Paris at Daniel Templon Gallery.[9] Then at the Yvon Lambert Gallery in 1972.[7]
From 1972 to 1972, he produced a series called Sol/Mur as part of the Supports/Surfaces movement.[3]
Until 1975, Cane continued his abstract series.[3] These canvases were un-stretched, spread on the floor, spray painted and folded in half, then cut and staples directly on the wall.[6]
In 1978, Cane went from abstract painting to figuration.[3] He reflected on the history of pictorial forms. He also started integrating sculpture into his practice. The statues were almost exclusively female occasionally appearing in form of burlesque or baroque expressionism. [10]
Cane was also a furniture designer, which is an important part of his artistic creation.[10]
