Olivier Goka

The work of Belgian artist Olivier Goka is primarily comprised of characters that look to be inspired by the building blocks of childhood. Simple shapes, high gloss and optimistic feelings. They are adorable. However, he also has a set of works called The Vonpischmeyer Collection that merges traditional African art with found items (random plastic and rubbish from the street) with his aesthetic of simplicity. It's an appealing approach and a surprisingly effective nod to the source material.
