More information
Oli Epp was born in 1994 in London, where he currently lives and works. Epp paints with clean shapes and bold colours to convey an aesthetic that reflects the overarching anxiety of the digital age. The paintings work in an endlessly cyclical way of Epp ironically questioning idealisms and our pursuit of perfection and the conflict that arises as a result. The overall aesthetic of Epp’s paintings conveys the digital world; mimicking the screen, toying with the physicality of surface.
He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the City & Guilds of London Art School (2013-14). Recent solo exhibitions include: "Shampoo", Carl Kostyál, London (2023), "Don’t You Want Somebody To Love?", Perrotin, New York (2022), and "Nine Lives", Semiose, Paris (2022). In Sweden, he has exhibited at Carl Kostyál in Stockholm (2021 and 2022) and in Malmö (2019). His works are included in several public collections, such as Musée d'Art Moderne, Paris, Hall Art Foundation, Reading, USA, and the Thyssen Collection, Madrid.
