There is an underlying grotesque element to Louviere + Vanessa's artwork. It is because they are created using a wax-and-blood mixture that yields a unique texture and color to their work. Of course, once you get past the artists' atypical materials, you can't help but appreciate their creations.
A husband and wife duo based in New Orleans, Louviere + Vanessa create artwork that has an old-world, Gothic feel to it. Inspired by the amoral ego and the destructive nature of humanity, each piece contains an inimitable, undeniable beauty.
