Drawings and texts by Olivier Bringer (series of 30 drawings and 12 unpublished texts printed on Munken paper).
French writer and sound artist Olivier Bringer is an unclassifiable and radical character, writing and drawing in absolute necessity and immediacy, a portraitist in fury and in the abstraction of gesture.
"The texts and the drawings fascinate by their presence, at the very moment when they seem to 'represent' the horror, the fall or the failure. The graphic work sometimes evokes the characters coiled up in indeterminate and filthy spaces dear to
Roger Ballen. More generally. , the aesthetic universe of Olivier Bringer seems inseparable from a phylum of literary references—Poe, Jarry, Sade…—in which the artist has imbibed his readings with his passionate listening to experimental music - all macerated with the efficiency of 'a riff from the Stooges or Captain Beefheart!"
