Artwork location: France

Swiz came to painting through the discovery of graffiti, in 2000, still a teenager but already instinctively attracted to an approach to language as experimental combinations of shapes, colors and meanings. After having cut his teeth in Parisian graffiti, with a pronounced taste for urban no man's land, Olivier freed himself from writing to develop work in the studio. The works presented here appear as free interpretations of Swiz's environment, seen through the prism of shapes and colors. Constructions and architectures are here injected into a hybrid language, applying mathematical rigor in the deconstruction and then the transcription of this information. The artist extracts from his environment a formal register that serves him to create new spaces, where classical constructions give way to a complex and dynamic geometry.

The work on canvas reveals territories with fragmented volumes, sliced ​​cleanly by radical lines. The structures develop strata, inviting the spectator to circulate by moving in front of the works to make their way, to perceive the hidden or invisible parts, the half-open doors. They are designed with the aim of generating new underground spaces based on the notion of covering and the hollowed-out volumes reveal as much as they conceal. Each piece can then be perceived as a track, the element of an imaginary plan to be deciphered.

Presentation

From the street art and graffiti world, Olivier SWIZ finds his inspiration in his environment. Constructions and architectures are injected into a hybrid language, applying a mathematical precision in the deconstruction and retranscription of this information. The artist extracts from his environment a formal register which he uses to create new spaces, where classical constructions give way to a complex and dynamic geometry. 

The work on canvas reveals territories with fragmented volumes, sharply cut by radical lines. The compositions allow us to glimpse layers, half-open doors, underground spaces based on the notion of covering. The hollowed-out volumes reveal as much as they conceal. Each piece can then be perceived as a trail, part of an imaginary plan to be interpreted.
