Born 1972 in Jersey, Ollie Le Brocq later moved to England, and in 2009 settled on the Suffolk Heritage Coast. He studied Design at art college, and later Industrial Design at degree level, with the University of Hertfordshire. He has practiced as a professional digital artist and animator for over 20 years.

Ollie started experimenting in paint in 2012, painting in his spare time. His painting practice centres around still life, representations of people, street scenes, and interiors. “My main motivation is to capture the light and a sense of space, or movement, while attempting to convey an ephemeral moment of interest.”

Painting Style

Through critical observation he strives to convey a sense of light, and the effect it has on the subject, in all its temporal nature of shifting tone and colour. His often disintegrated style was born partly out of frustration – painting is difficult – and as a result pictorial elements are often destroyed and broken. “I’m quite happy to break things apart, only to start again if I feel the painting isn’t working, and later rebuild and incorporate aspects of the previous ‘failure’.” In this way of working, he aims to achieve a result that is relevant to the way we perceive the world. Human vision and memory are not perfect.

Lime Tree Gallery has represented Ollie since 2020 in both Long Melford and Bristol and at Art Fairs throughout the UK.
