Follow your intuition…. This is the advice Stephen Shore gave Louis Heilbronn while he was studying at the renowned Bard College from 2007 to 2010. This is what encouraged the New York native, born May 5th, 1988, to venture off the beaten path and slice up the world, abstracting time and emotion.
In January 2013, he had his first exhibition, “Meet Me On The Surface, at Galerie Polaris in Paris. Using his new-found freedom, he explored how “intimate objects and foreign landscapes” can be mixed impulsively. He is still growing and learning. He is 24 years old.
With “From Flowers and More”, Louis Heilbronn pursues his voyage alone. As always, what interests him are places around cities and towns which break and shatter like a fine crystal. Additionally, his work integrates those that he is close to, naturally exposing a double life.
He has learned to cope with Photography, his “strange passion” and has figured out how his obsession to grasp reality can be revealed. He has indeed two strengths: in addition to being young, he has a high standard for a job well done.
Going from Paris, to New York and Los Angeles, “From Flowers and More” captures Louis Heilbronn’s energy and his joy of being openly present.
