Bruno Ollé

About

Lives and works in Barcelona, Spain

Bruno Ollé’s artistic practice stems from an intimate and subjective archaeology. Through painting, sculpture, drawing, and installation, the artist explores the relationship between individual memory, archive, and found object. His work proposes a poetics of the fragment and of assemblage: industrial elements, discarded pieces, and humble materials like foam or sheet metal take on new life when recontextualized in compositions that evoke both childhood play and processes of emotional reconstruction. Ollé’s works do not aim to represent, but rather to give space: to activate an internal, intuitive logic that connects the personal with the collective, the spontaneous with the constructed. The artist composes as one might rearrange memories, assembling pieces with a playful eye, yet one deeply attuned to time, the body, and the context in which the work is created. From an open practice, where the process is as important as the outcome, Ollé challenges the solemnity of art by embracing a production that is free, tactile, and honest. His paintings emerge from everyday gestures and the desire to inhabit the world through a different logic –one that is more sensorial and less driven by productivity.

Bruno Ollé is a visual artist with a degree in Art and Design from EINA, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, where he also completed a master’s degree in Visual Arts. He lives and works between Barcelona and the Maresme region. From the beginning, his trajectory has been marked by a continuous investigation of expanded pictorial language, approached through multiple media and techniques. He was an artist-in-residence at GlogauAIR (Berlin), an experience that marked a turning point in his practice. He has held solo exhibitions in institutions and galleries such as Fundació Suñol (Barcelona), Alzueta Gallery (Barcelona, Madrid), Can Manyé (Alella), Fundació Antoni Tàpies (Barcelona), and in independent spaces in Berlin, Brussels, and Ghent. His works are included in international private collections, including those of Mark Zuckerberg and Jan Koum.
