To
paraphrase one of Lou's first art critics, "Your visions,
seen through the prism of your imagination are unique, out-of-sight
and uncommon."
What
is Episodic Art? Episodic art is
a new form of Art with intensity, contrast, and color. It is paintings
with definite and defined movement(s) having flow and telling
a story within each one. It is eclectic, innovative, strong, and
exotic. It has insight and en total, newly defines the story of
life itself. Maybe the best definition is a review of the visionary
portfolio of Lou el Oso. |

Louis
(el Oso) Carrillo,
(the Bear), originally from California, made his home in
Thompsons Station in Middle Tennessee. College educated, he worked
as a carpenter then later became an inventor holding multiple patents
and trademarks. He started Perfection Products, Inc. with one of his
patented products, Pop-A-Plate, and then filled the company with more
of his inventions. After fifteen years he sold the business (in 2002)
and then came back to his first love - fine art.
Lou el Oso began
drawing as a child and has continued throughout his life to refine
his artwork. He painted sporadically throughout his life until he
sold his company, Perfection Products. It was at that time that
he began painting in earnest. His art work is alive with intensity,
contrast, and color. It is eclectic, innovative, strong, and exotic.
Lou amassed hundreds
of works in the new genre - Episodic Art
- most of which are oil on canvas, in his rural studio that might
have gone undiscovered except for a few art lovers and critics who
pushed him to share his art work with us all. Lou
el Oso signed his work simply ‘LOU’. He liked larger canvases
and worked mostly in oil. “I want my work to be associated only
to me. In other words you can see one of my works at one end of the
country and later see a different work at the other end of the country
and still recognize it as that of Lou el Oso.“
Louis
(el Oso) Carrillo, artist, inventor, friend to many and loving
husband; died peacefully at his home in Thompson Station, Tennessee
with his beloved wife, Victoria (Vickie), by his side August 3,
2015. His quick wit and infectious laughter will be greatly missed
by his many friends and loved ones. His memory will be cherished
by all he met as Lou never met a stranger and shared his
love generously.
