Description
As a child, Olivier SWIZ sees words painted large on the walls, along the roads and through the windows of the metro, forming an incomprehensible language that intrigues him. As a teenager, graffiti opens up unknown spaces for him in the city, new territories that become the supports of a need for free expression that he discovers. Olivier affixes his signature on the walls, markers of a passage, of a fleeting but tangible appropriation where, already, his attraction for sharp shapes, broken, angular lines appears.

PAINTER OF DESTRUCTURING
Hobby becomes passion and curiosity for a multi-dimensional art form. Developing a more personal expression, O. SWIZ declines the letters in an increasingly elaborate geometry that combines pure lines and bold colors. O. SWIZ likes the wide open spaces of disused industrial landscapes which became the medium for his first research. First a maze of oversized, colorful letters, which gradually tend towards structures with futuristic accents developing a graphic expression of the urban at the heart of the modernity of its time.

NEW PERSPECTIVES
Olivier SWIZZ's purpose is to open up perspectives in which the gaze is invited to get lost and discover new spaces in the image of urban universes to be explored. His multidimensional work is part of the movement of graffuturism; even if Olivier feels closer to cubism, which made the volumes explode, than to futurism, an ode to modernity and speed.

ORGANIZED DECONSTRUCTION
Favoring solitary wandering in his colorful mazes, like his own urban wandering as a teenager in search of walls to paint, Olivier SWIZ pursues a work that already imposes him as an essential reference of the new contemporary scene. urban.

Presentation

Swiz is a French artist, born in 1983. He lives and works in Paris.
Swiz started out practicing graffiti, with a marked taste for urban no man's land. From the streets to the studio, he developed an emancipated and innovative work, focused on writting as a challenging basis for geometrical
compositions, in a « graffuturism » perpsective.
Self-taught artist, Swiz develops a passion for painting in his teenage years, when discovering graffiti, in 2000. The young teenager is already drawn to a vision of language combining the experiences of forms, colors and senses.
Inspired by the Cubist artists, and how they broke up objects and reassembled them in an abstracted form, Swiz adopts a deconstructed aesthetics in his graffiti, with a preference for complex, intricate design. The concept of encryption emerges, as the artist play with the viewer just as he plays on the shape of the letters and the outline of the urban areas that
he takes over.
From 2008, Swiz moves to a studio practice. He conserves some artistic aspects of graffiti, such as the letter and a genuine economy of means in the use of materials. Yet his artworks evolve towards abstraction. The letter tends to disappear, in favor of a language made of forms and colors, capable of conveying his words and thoughts. Taking inspiration from the Western cities' geometric design, which makes it easy for anybody to find one's way, Swiz always maintains a layout – whether derived from the alphabet or architecture, sometimes figurative and others times not. Thanks to this structure, the viewer is offered with the opportunity of wandering and uncovering new visuals horizons, where messages and emotions appear from the canvas, just like in a multi-faceted game.
