The timeless and universal muses of François Loup

Since forever, the feminine body, its graceful curbs, the outline of its face and its beauty inspired artists. From Leonardo da Vinci to Picasso, and from the Mona Lisa to the Venus of Milo, women have taken the pose as models. Thus, these muses incarnate the ideal of a perfection to be reached by painters and sculptors who each interpret it in their own manner.

It's the purpose of Poussières d'Etoiles, the new Stardust series of François Loup. Featuring drawings and paintings created by using ink and acrylic, with a base of smoke, ashes, water and natural pigments, it reveals the work of someone who grew up in an arty family. Through his vision, he develops his taste and his outlook for figurative or abstract nudes, in an explosion of generous colors.

A new gallery concept

Already exhibited in France, in Finland, in the United States and in Russia, he inaugurates an unusual way to display his works, in Paris. His busts and paintings are presented to visitors at « 15 Curiosity + Experiences », a concept that mingles creative spaces, exhibitions and performances in an upper level immersive gallery. A place to discover in order to treat yourself to one of his timeless muses…
