Mwanel Pierre-Louis (mwanel1_l) is an Artist based out of Miami, Florida. His work combines realism and abstraction in a narrative that draws from personal interactions and pop references. Mwanel’s paintings feature juxtapositions of fragmented experiences and a strong emphasis on the relationship between subject and color. Some of his latest work was completed in the residents’ bicycle room at herontampa, the neighborhood’s first residential building that is now open.

Born in New York, from Haitian descent, he’s spent time living and absorbing the culture from New York, Miami and Los Angeles. Pierre-Louis attended New World School of the Arts high school program in Miami, Florida and Art Center College of Design’s illustration program in Pasadena, California. His clients include Starbucks, Fader Magazine, Adidas and Atlantic Records. 

Mwanel’s work has been exhibited in Scope Art Fair during Art Basel, Miami and Switzerland, as well New York City. He’s been a part of the 5th annual POW!WOW! Hawaii’s “Exploring the New Contemporary Movement” in the Honolulu Museum of Art. In 2019, Mwanel had his first solo show with Thinkspace Gallery in Los Angeles and continues to have more shows with galleries such as Talon, Antler, Spoke Art and Nucleus Galleries.
