Work

Cane focused on the concept of deconstruction of the canvas. His series, Louis Cane artiste peintre français, he continuously stamped his name on a sheet, exploring the idea of personal branding.[5]

By 1970, Cane transitioned into a series of cut-out paintings, the toiles découpées, which he worked with for several years.[5] His process for paintings was much like Jackson Pollock or Helen Frankenthaler, by painting the un-stretched canvas on the ground[6]

He participated in the second and third exhibition of the Supports/Surfaces group at the Théâtre de la Cité Internationale in Paris.[7][8]

In 1971, Cane had his first solo exhibition in Paris at Daniel Templon Gallery.[9] Then at the Yvon Lambert Gallery in 1972.[7]

From 1972 to 1972, he produced a series called Sol/Mur as part of the Supports/Surfaces movement.[3]

Until 1975, Cane continued his abstract series.[3] These canvases were un-stretched, spread on the floor, spray painted and folded in half, then cut and staples directly on the wall.[6]

In 1978, Cane went from abstract painting to figuration.[3] He reflected on the history of pictorial forms. He also started integrating sculpture into his practice. The statues were almost exclusively female occasionally appearing in form of burlesque or baroque expressionism. [10]

Cane was also a furniture designer, which is an important part of his artistic creation.[10]
