Olivier Catté (born in 1957) is a French artist who lives and works in Rouen. A unique technique Recycled cardboard fascinates Olivier Catté: scraps of consumer society, makeshift homes for the poorest, it is an omnipresent symbol of the absurdity of modern societies, and a formidable raw material for plastic expression. Without any collage, Olivier Catté tears and digs to reveal, in the thickness of a single cardboard, labyrinthine cities. It is therefore this work of destruction, repetitive, obsessive, which produces these fascinating volume effects and contributes to the development of a work of our time. Harmonious Society The Harmonious Society series is the result of a real upheaval in the artist's perception. In May 2016, Olivier Catté is in residence in Zunyi. In the heart of the Chinese mountains, he feels very strongly the opposition between the western linear perspective, which fixes the landscape from the point of view of man, and the tradition of the Chinese landscape, moving, organic, where man is as part of a whole. His works are imbued with curves, narrations, a deeply touching vital breath. The Harmonious Society exhibition will be our 7th soloshow by Olivier Catté
