Olivier Catte

Artist.
My work focuses on painting, in its possibilities and in the construction of compositions from the values and qualities of paint itself.
I understand painting not only as a medium with which represent reality, but as an end in itself.I see it as an autonomous element that, through its gesturalism, the strokes and the different graphic and aesthetic resources allows us to build artworks to travel through.
A language that does not tries to represent something, but that builds spaces in which to be, endless spaces where to get lost seeing.
I think of the canvas or support as a surface where to work, as a surface where you try to give your best.
To me an artwork as a place to be.
A landscape to visit.

Art student from 1977 to 1981. Numerous exhibitions and participations to Art Fairs since 1982 (France, Mexico, China, U.S.A, Germany, Japan).
