Born 1960, France the artist lives and works in Paris, France
Oscar B. was born in 1960 in Paris, but he will live the biggest part of his life in Nantes. Lover of this harbour city with industrial atmospheres, in the tints intoxicates and makes rusty, in the chaotic climates, it will be the vital lead of his creation.
From its youngest age Oscar B. draws and paints, but the labour environment in which he evolves does not intend him for the art. Nevertheless, he makes in 1977 one year to the Beaux Arts School of Nantes, that will confirm his taste for the painting, the drawing and the art in general, but with an aversion for academicism.
His rather eclectic, artistic route is marked out by different forms of expression (industrial Rock, Photography, computer graphics) in the urban, post-industrial influences and the representations of it are sometimes believed. In parallel, Oscar B. will be successively: night petrol pump attendant in the suburb of Nantes, worker in a factory of metal industry, a carrier of blood products, a technician to the NATIONAL CENTRE FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH in Orsay (France), an auxiliary civil servant at the office of cultural action in the Ministry of Education in Paris etc. … These multiple experiences will contribute to anchor the artistic work of Oscar B. in the reality. Influenced by the urban and industrial atmospheres, Oscar B. work on the details containing a load more emotional, more sensory, more enigmatic, more humorous, more erotic in order to transcend them. Each can loosen taken and to mislead on these crossing ways, to immerse itself in these waters disturbances in all liberty.
