Olivier Swiz

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.
