About Artist: Guillaume Ollivier is an American artist born in Paris, France and raised in Los Angeles. A graduate from the San Francisco Academy of Art with a seasoned background inadvertising, his pieces are portals into the gardens of his imagination and are deeply rooted in the realm of surrealism, creating a dialogue between the real world and a world that lives in his mind. Ollivier's artwork dances on the edge between excess and reflection, an inviting chaos that somehow finds tranquility in the turbulence of overflowing culture and ever-changing surroundings. He strives to press a mental "reset" button, inviting viewers into a world where every vibrant, chaotic detail is a step towards seeing our environment with fresh, "beginner's" eyes. Ollivier seeks to dissolve and rearrange structure, weaving a tapestry that harmonizes the seemingly discordant elements of our hyper-abundant era. Through the symphony of his art, he explores human behavior,self-reflection, and our relationships to our ever-shifting surroundings. Guided by a belief that there is nothing nature can't mend, his work stands as a celebration and gentle critique of our era of availability and excess. Ollivier invites you to step into his gardens, to find a moment of 'awww' amid the chaos, and perhaps, to perceive the world around you with reinvigorated wonder and curiosity. Ollivier has exhibited his work at The Brand Museum & Library (Glendale, CA) in 2022 and at The de Young Museum (San Francisco) in 2023.
