Biography
Louis Chabaud, born in 1941 in Aubagne, is a French painter and sculptor, known as the "pope of singular art". Orphaned at a young age, he is entrusted to his infirm grandmother and a brutal uncle. During his adolescence, he discovered painting and sold landscapes of Provence to tourists on the beaches of Port Grimaud and Saint-Tropez. At the age of twenty-five, he lost his grandmother and went on the road to Chaumont where he met his future wife, a teacher.
It was around 1975 that he abandoned "commercial" painting to devote himself to a more inventive work. With an omnipresent humour, nuanced however by a hint of worry that his legendary blows of mouth come to disturb, this artist camps his characters in facetious or enchanted situations.
Louis Chabaud lives in Praz-sur-Arly, in Haute-Savoie, where he also organizes the Festival d'Art Hors-les-Normes.
