BIO

​

Originally from Spain, Beñat Olaberria is a London based artist graduated from City and Guilds from London Art School with an MA in Fine Art. With a non impressionistic, non narrative and non reductive approach to making, Beñat ́s practice explores the unknown territories of his mind. Like in an unplanned walk, he is interested in constructing abstract pieces as a reaction to his first nervous, unplanned and impulsive mark-making until the desired balance is achieved though his visual logic and personal language. Beñat has taken part in numerous group exhibitions around the UK and his work can be found in private collections across Europe, Canada and USA. He has recently had solo shows in Barcelona and Switzerland and London.
