About the Item
Carré vertical II is one of the latest medium size contemporary modern sculpture painting reliefs by French-Dutch artist Olivier Julia. The relief is made from dozens of individually cut, sanded and vertically assembled pieces of wood. The front part of the work is finished with a mixture of anthracite grey and bronze acrylic paint. Additionally, the back of the work has a bright yellow paint finish creating a subtle yellow reflection on the wall. This art work hangs slightly free from the back wall, creating a floating visual experience which is enhanced by the yellow reflection on the back. Due to the bronze in the acrylic paint, changing ambient light causes changes in the intensity of the grey colour, occasionally appearing as nearly metallic. Furthermore, different viewing angles result in different relief patterns. This work is a unique piece (no edition) and is signed by the artist on verso.
Olivier Julia (1952, France) graduated with a BA in Graphic Art from the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, the city where he now has his studio. Originally his work consists of sober graphic art and monumental drawings, but in more recent years he has explored the dimensional possibilities of graphic art. He creates three-dimensional objects from wood, often painted in subdued colors that are characteristic of his earlier work: differentiated shades of grey and deep blacks. His work is focused on the subtle interaction of closed versus open, of vertical versus horizontal and of light versus dark.
His work is exhibited throughout Europe and is part of many renowned corporate and public collections. Olivier's work features in a number of publications and was also selected for the main Dutch abstract-geometric and constructivist art exhibition Symposion 2015.

Olivier Julia
Olivier Julia graduated with a BA in graphic art from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. Until recently, he held a tutoring position in graphic art at the same academy besides practicing as an independent artist. Since he retired from the academy, he has been working as a full-time visual artist. Originally his work consists of sober graphic art and monumental drawings, but in more recent years, he has explored the dimensional possibilities of graphic art. He creates three-dimensional objects from wood, often painted in subdued colors that are characteristic of his earlier work: differentiated shades of grey and deep blacks. The work of Julia is focussed on the subtle interaction of closed versus open, vertical versus horizontal and light versus dark. His work is exhibited internationally and is part of many renowned corporate and public collections such as ING, KPN, TNT Post, Rijksmuseum Twenthe in The Netherlands, Vaasa Museum in Finland, Royal Library of Belgium, Wilploo Collection and MAL Collection. Furthermore, his work is part of numerous private collections around the world including Europe, the USA and South America. His work was selected for the main Dutch abstract-geometric and constructivist art exhibition, Symposion 2015.
