ORACLE (2022-2023)

Institut National Art contemporain is proud to present Oracle - Detached from Mortal Concerns, an exhibition by Olicorno. The artist draws inspiration from Renaissance painters and collaborates with artificial intelligence to create this new body of abstract work. Combining the wisdom of the past with the promise of the future, Olicorno produces paintings with a mysterious temporality.
Olicorno begins this series with a research phase punctuated by rapid bursts of creativity, aided by new technologies including artificial intelligence and digital drawing. After this effervescent work of research, accumulation and modification of images comes a phase of extremely slow pictorial transposition. Paying homage to the great masters of the Italian Renaissance, Olicorno revisits their techniques.
With Oracle, Olicorno deploys the hyper-realistic painting skills developed in his earlier series to create complex abstract universes. The artist explores new artistic territories that have become attainable through recently accessible technologies, while using techniques from another era. As a result, the artist produces works that inspire slow contemplation, dreaming and contemplation.
