Olivier Ebel

"Ellipsopphia" abstract painting varnishes pigment on wood 184x182cm

2019

Olivier lives and works in the Nantes region. After having participated in sketching courses, live models and a 4-year cycle at the fine arts of Cholet, 25 years in the industry in many fields, Olivier experiments with different techniques, reproduction, upcycling, sculpture on wood and metal and since 2012 painting on wood panels. Inspired by large formats or asymmetric formats, his work is based on the superposition of layers of paint and tinted varnish to give movement and depth to his painting. A first 18m long fresco which loops in a room on the theme of time and the cycle of life, orients it towards continuous painting by the realization of square or triangle base columns which are painted flat alternately then assembled to compose columns. The plurality of areas of interest push Olivier to create a unique range of furniture: tables, armchairs and chairs under the Dysform brand. Today, following a student project at the fashion school in Cholet, a second collection of men's t-shirts will see the light of day.
