Olivier LEROI
Olivier Leroi was born in 1962 in Sologne in the Center Val-de-Loire. He lives and works in Nançay in Cher, and in Pays de Loire.
The work of Olivier Leroi is surprisingly and invigoratingly poetic. Always in intimate connection with his environment, the artist drawing from it
His breathing is both rhetorical and composed of metaphorical or metonymic images. It is the expression, through the word, the image, the form, the mood, the humor, which emerges from the simple vitality of the present. By always very minimal manipulation, it is here, brought back by Leroi to its essential rhythm, that of meaning, of the multiple and mysterious meanings of the aspects of existence.
