Oliver Hibert's work attracted me right away because of it's colors and shapes. It looks almost psychedelic and trippy. Hibert's paintings have been converted into clothing, skateboards and can be found in the form of figurines. He was born in seattle in 1983 and made his first debut in a gallery at the age of 16. he is self taught but grew up among a family of artists. MTV, Nike and Yellowbook are among a few of his fans, using his artwork for their products.
Hilbert said "his art is an escape from the mundane, influenced, at times heavily by the music, colors and imagery of the psychedelic 60’s era. Hibert’s iconic style transcends time as it nods to the past, while being so contemporized that it speaks to the future. The art is smothered with busy patterns, alluring figures, super bright colors and plenty of exclamation marks."
I really love the playfulness of his pieces. They just make me happy and want to stare at them for a while.
