Olivier de Sagazan’s disconcerting events, a blend of painting, sculpture and performance art, brings his humanity-baring work across the globe. There’s both a psychological and animalistic quality to these wild pieces, the artist’s own body acting as his canvas. He was last mentioned on HiFructose.com here.

“He pierces, erases and untangles the infinite layers of his face in a frenetic search, without any inhibition, by giving the floor to his hands,” a statement says. “Painting and sculpting then becomes a form of ritual between dance and trance, an evocation of the sculptor’s unfulfilled desire to give life to his creation.”
