Louis Petit

Louis Petit is a artist whose practice encompasses painting, drawing, writing, and etching. His work is deeply informed by his lived experience with severe epilepsy and the effects of misprescribed medication during adolescence, experiences that brought vivid hallucinations and altered states of consciousness.

Drawing from these early experiences, Petit creates immersive dreamscapes on reflective aluminium surfaces, preserving and translating the visions that shaped his perception of the world. His work weaves together personal memory and historical reference, exploring themes of trauma, resilience, and the broader human condition. Through his visual storytelling, Petit seeks to transform suffering into shared understanding, inviting viewers to engage with the intersections of memory, perception, and imagination.
