"A nice cat" signed by "Oliver R"
With A Nice Cat, Oliver R invites us to enter a universe that is both wild and dreamlike, where the power of the tiger interacts with the delicacy of an extravagant floral setting. This lithograph depicts a majestic feline moving through a mysterious swamp, surrounded by giant flowers in shades of yellow, blue, and gray. The tiger, the central figure of the composition, commands attention with its intense gaze and calm but vigilant posture. It seems to both belong to and stand apart from this lush environment, as if it were the silent guardian of this surreal landscape. The flowers, disproportionate in relation to the animal, create a striking contrast: their exaggerated size and mixture of cool and warm colors reinforce the fantastical aspect of the scene. Through A nice Cat, the artist offers an implicit reflection on the place of animals in a world transformed by human imagination. The tiger is no longer just a predator: it becomes a symbol, almost an icon, lost in a surreal floral setting that evokes both the beauty and strangeness of nature.
"The gaze of Yogi" signed by "Oliver R"
The third work in the Animals series, The Gaze of Yogi by Oliver R. is part of a pictorial approach in which the animal becomes both subject and mirror of human emotion. The painting depicts the face of a panda, partially hidden behind a screen of bamboo, as if seen through a natural and symbolic filter. The yellow bamboo, an unusual and deliberately striking color choice, breaks away from the traditional palette associated with this animal. No longer merely a background element, the bamboo becomes a strong graphic feature that structures the composition and guides the viewer’s eye. This bright yellow creates a visual tension with the panda’s black-and-white face, enhancing the depth and presence of the subject. The right side of the painting, largely dominated by black, introduces an area of shadow that contrasts with the clarity of the bamboo. This dark mass acts as a visual silence, a space for breathing, but also as a zone of mystery. It suggests isolation, contemplation, and the animal’s fragility within its environment. The panda, an emblematic figure of endangered nature, seems to emerge from the darkness to meet the viewer’s gaze. Within the Animals series, The Gaze of Yogi holds a particular place as the third painting: it marks a transition toward a more introspective representation of the animal. While the series explores the strength and beauty of living beings, this work places greater emphasis on the gaze, the true emotional anchor of the composition. The panda is not merely observed; it looks back. Through this play of contrasts between light and darkness, between nature and abstraction, Oliver R. offers a vision of the animal world that is both poetic and unsettling. The Gaze of Yogi is not simply a portrait, but an invitation to slow down, to sustain that gaze, and to reflect on our relationship with the living world.
