Olivier Julia Abstract Paintings

b. 1952

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.

By Daniel Fiorda

Located in New York, NY

Daniel Fiorda in this new series of sculptures, continues in many ways the themes that have infused his previous work. For the last several years, Fiorda has dealt with technology, obsolescence, with the trail of discarded tech that humanity leaves behind and what it says about us. The new work takes this thematic one step further. These new wall pieces feature barely concealed found objects, almost fully engulfed by concrete, and yet still eerily discernible: industrial gears, computer keyboards, objects that evoke industrial post-digital eras. This piece is a set of 3 artworks...
