"Steel Jam Session"
Ludvic's junkyard finds are gathered and recycled into lively, impromptu compositions. He reassembles, cuts, reshapes, sandblasts and grinds the materials, claiming to never discard a single piece. The sculptures, titled “Steel Jam Session,” are created as in a jazz jam session —“in the moment,” — with the artist following his intuitive sense. A viewer can see how each sculpture moves to the rhythm of Ludvic’s perpetual jam session.
Artist Background
Born in 1944 in Sudan and educated in Egypt and Switzerland, Ludvic has had a diverse career. In Europe he apprenticed with renowned artists such as Marino Marini, Karel Appel and Bram Bogart, and worked as a fabric designer for Yves Saint Laurent. In the 1970’s he worked briefly at Andy Warhol’s “Factory.” Ludvic, whose work has been reviewed in Art News magazine, exhibits his paintings and sculptures in museums and galleries internationally.
