French-born Olivier Dubois-Cherrier is a visual artist who expresses himself through Lad art, painting, sculpture and photography. These last 20 years he has lived in diverse countries with a coastline, such as Guadeloupe (FWI), Dominican Republic & Barcelona (Spain). He now lives, works in Tucson, Arizona, a desert place where water is rare.
A counter-place could be said at first sight; but for the nomadic Caribbean crossed origins artist who learned how to place his roots in himself, settling his home in a wide and empty landscape was a necessity. He likes to think about the notion of the island in term of geopolitical space and of philosophic and psychological state. The natural limits such as banks, horizons, oppositions and demarcations become, for this artist, metaphors of the incapacity of the modern man to live harmoniously.
