James Oliver Still-life Paintings
American, b. 1962
James Oliver is a painter whose precise visual language pushes the tradition of twentieth century abstraction into a contemporary context. Oliver is a conceptually driven formalist whose work is inspired by his dreams and emotional states, which he abstracts into an undetermined and subjective viewing experience by emphasizing line, color, and form. Even as Oliver turns to a figurative practice in recent series, rendering cultural icons like chopper bikes, Pontiac Firebirds, and his childhood poodle in detailed line drawings, these representations similarly evoke broadly accessible affects abstracted from his mental landscape.
Born in Upstate New York, raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, son of an advertising executive, Oliver was exposed from a young age to visual art from its most commercial applications to more visceral exponential lives.to

“Ocean Flowers“, Broad Leaves and Pink Flowers of a Water Plant under Sun Light
By Andrée de Frémont
Located in Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
In a square 70cm x 70cm, a jug full of flowers offers the necessary verticality to this subject. Against an ocean blue background stand out the broad leaves of a water plant and its pink flowers. The water here is represented by the dominant blues, however, a yellow bloom and spots of gold powder are a reminder of the sun.
