After university studies in visual arts and graphic design, Louis began his career by participating in various group exhibitions. These included Rendez-vous médiatique at the UQAM Art Gallery and Imagina 90, an international digital art competition held in Bry-sur-Marne (France).

Louis experimented early on with the possibilities of computer-based creation and produced a series of digital drawings as early as 1986. A first series of acrylic paintings emerged from this experimentation, and his first solo exhibition, entitled Kimono, was presented in various regional museums in Quebec, including the Musée de Rimouski and the Centre d’art de Baie-Saint-Paul, but most notably at the Quebec Government Office in New York. These works were also part of a group exhibition entitled Nine Canadian Artists from Quebec, in Japan, presented at the prestigious Tokyo Minimoto Hall. During this period, the event was covered by numerous press articles, as well as television and radio broadcasts.

This was followed by a series of collages inspired by various aspects of Japanese traditions, then a series of acrylics on paper that offered compositions of an image within an image, freely inspired by the structures of Japanese kakemonos and Tibetan thangkas.

While he was very active as a visual artist from 1985 to 1995, Louis subsequently focused his efforts on graphic design. With several decades of professional involvement in graphic design, his experience teaching in this field at various colleges and universities further enhances his credibility. Louis has also contributed as a journalist to publications including FORMES magazine, writing numerous articles on design-related disciplines. He also served on the board of directors of the Société des Designers Graphiques du Québec (Quebec Society of Graphic Designers) for over a decade and made a major contribution to the recognition of the Certified Graphic Designer designation.

However, he never abandoned the practice of drawing, digital image and photography and he is now resuming a sustained production with the desire to make his work known and disseminated more widely.
