Olivier Bergot's practice — painting, drawing, and woodcutting — is rooted in traditional techniques that he reinterprets through contemporary concerns. He approaches figuration as a form of dialogue with the world (inner and outer, present and past) and a way to explore the tension between the material and the metaphysical dimensions of existence. With a background in anthropology, Olivier Bergot is interested in how beliefs and desires quietly shape our inner lives, revealing themselves through intimacy, vulnerability, and moments of everyday life.
