Louis Oudart: The journey of a visionary graphic designer

Louis Oudart, known under the pseudonym Louisodt, is a young 22-year-old artist from Lille. With a background in graphic design focused on innovation, Louis turned his childhood passion for art into a thriving career. Having never practiced design or graphics before his higher studies, he was able to exploit his talent for drawing, acquired during his childhood, to explore and master digital creation software. It was during this period that he discovered his love for design, gradually abandoning the visual arts to devote himself to varied and innovative mediums.

In 2021, Louis began creating covers, and since finishing his studies in 2022, he has devoted himself fully to it. His unique approach combines visual arts with digital creations, creating original and unclassifiable works. Louis refuses to let himself be pigeonholed into a simple graphic designer label. He designs specific frames to highlight his visuals, seeking to reproduce a reality sublimated by a surrealist touch, thanks to plays of proportions, colors, and cinematographic scenography.

His works, often populated by animals, subtly represent humanity and its failings with a touch of humor. Louis explores duality, spirituality, and light, playing on the contrasts between life and death, shadow and light, to give exceptional depth to his creations. Details are essential for him, because they breathe life into his works and convey subtle messages.

Creative process and influences

Refusing to be labeled as a simple graphic designer, he designs specific frames for his visuals, highlighting them through a careful presentation. His creations flirt with reality, enriched with a surrealist touch through plays of proportions, colors, and cinematic staging.

His inspirations are diverse and eclectic.

Music, especially rap and trap, films, museums, architecture and photography fuel his imagination. He also draws on Italian painting, Baroque and religious frescoes to compose unique visuals. When creating covers for other artists, Louis immerses himself in the artist's universe to capture his essence and choose a place and elements representative of his identity.

Aspirations and artistic future

Louis Oudart aspires to develop his art and make a name for himself in the design world, to the point of being exhibited in galleries or museums. His desire for experimentation leads him to consider creating furniture, objects, videos and installations. Collaborations with other artists and brands are for him a source of renewed creativity. For Louis, the important thing is to open up and constantly reinvent himself, while remaining faithful to his passion for music, which remains the essence of his work.
