About the Item

Urbanisme lineaire I is one of the latest contemporary modern painting relief wall sculptures by French-Dutch artist Olivier Julia. The relief is made from dozens of individually cut, sanded and vertically assembled pieces of wood. The front and back of the work is finished with a mixture of anthracite grey and bronze acrylic paint. This art work hangs slightly free from the back wall, creating a floating visual experience. 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.
