Born 1972, Jersey, CI. Ollie Le Brocq now lives in Suffolk, UK, on the Heritage Coast. He studied Design at art college, and later Industrial Design at degree level. He has practised as a professional digital artist and animator for over 20 years.
Ollie started experimenting in paint in 2012, as the antidote to his digital work. His painting practice largely centres around still life, and representations of people.
“I continue work showing my interest in light, form and geometry, while employing relatively simple imagery. In recent years I have moved my work towards a more playful dialogue, with greater emphasis on colour and graphical elements. The narrative is open and non-prescriptive, that invites viewers to engage and create their own interpretations.”
