Louis Pons (born 1927) is a French collage artist.
He specializes in reliefs and assemblages made entirely from discarded objects and junk.
In Agnès Varda's documentary The Gleaners and I, Pons explains his artistic process and understanding of art; what others see as "a cluster of junk," he sees as "a cluster of possibilities;" and that the function of art is to tidy up one's inner and exterior worlds.
