Oliver Schibli Art | The works of Oliver are an idyllic paradise of visual harmonies, inspired by the beauty of ancient art paired with new world problems. An immersive visual experience that invites us into his golden world. His works integrates the labor-intensive, ancient technique of hand gilding. “For me canvas is a place of meditation.” Oliver’s work pairs the decadent and the minimal, the spectacular and the invisible, seeking to heighten the experience of the spectator by creating immersive environments that transport the viewer into other worlds. The boundless nature of sky and ocean, provoking a striking emotional response. What interests him most about Gold is its scarcity and the emotional response that Gold evokes. Beyond symbolizing opulence and wealth, it manifests a feeling of refinement that is often lost in today’s disposable culture. By listening to his higher self, the part of all of us that is connected to universal truth, the work creates Oliver as much as he creates the work.
