The Big Easy
Every now and again we get reminded why we do what we do.
I have always been energized by meeting with smart artists…I spent two hours with the collaborative team of Louviere and Vanessa and am BUZZING! They are smart, understand the importance of process, and are constantly prodding themselves to pursue IDEAS! Incredibly refreshing, no? Our conversation was wide-ranging and candid. Jeff and Vanessa may not always hit the mark with their work, but they consistently challenge themselves and the media they employ. I can’t wait to see what direction they take next and talk with them again.

I met Jeff and Vanessa a few months ago in NOLA and have since pursued the possibility of bringing them to the Corcoran to speak to the students for the same very reasons you describe. They are certainly smart and their understanding of process without utter reliance upon it to provide meaning in the work, along with their knowledge and use of art history, makes them wonderfully appropriate to engage and inspire both just those learning the craft and those who have long practiced it. All that, and their work is fun to look at too!
