Bio
Working with video and painting, Louis Judkins makes “funny art for miserable people.” In his recent work, Judkins has created anthology short films that combine conceptual sketch-comedy with experimental sound and vision. These works engage with the viewer through witty, theatrical dialogue and sporadic, surreal visuals. Using unrealistic settings, often through the use of green screen, Judkins explores the construction of realistic and social connections placed in the foreground. “With extreme violence, gore and pornography literally at our fingertips, what happens when our culture itself is so shocking that art can no longer compete?”
Louis lives and works in London. He graduated with a BA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Arts in 2017. Recent exhibitions and projects include: Reunion Show (Group Exhibition) at Assembly Point (London, 2018), April Skies (Group Exhibition) at Take Courage Gallery (London, 2018) Louis Judkins: Super Fun Happy Happy Fun Time (Solo Exhibition) at Cable Street Studios (London, 2017), Louis – An Exhibition of Five Louis (Solo Exhibition) at Back Room Gallery (London, 2017)
