Spotlight: Oliver Gal

Oliver Gal is a contemporary art and lifestyle brand that embodies haute moments, avantgarde objects and splendid living in art and lifestyle items.

I love the use of bold colours, prints, and emblazoned motifs unapologetically strewn about all over the place. In the world of haute-couture, elegance and over-the-top indulgent luxury is absolutely key. But in the world of Oliver Gal art, haute-couture is turned on its head to maximise symbols, logos and established brand identities to give an edgier look.

In the rarefied world of high-end art, it doesn’t do to have Chanel’s intertwined C’s displayed on your living room wall, or Louis Vuitton’s monogram stamped above your sofa. That’s so nouveau riche, after all.

But Oliver Gal defies established norms (as all art should), and instead happily plays up every aspect of couture brand identities in wall prints and cavases. The pop culture is real, the style is flashy and the prints are museum quality.
