Featured Artists: Kolt Reagle & Olivia Boudet

Kolt Reagle

Kolt Reagle is a New York based artist that ties elements of humor and nostalgia into maximalist icons of pop culture. At the age of ten he designed his first metal sculpture which was later sold at a local benefit auction. While in high school he began to explore creating art from objects, hand painting skateboards and selling them from the trunk of his car.  Moving to New York from California in 2015, Reagle attended Parsons School of Design to study Product Design before leaving in 2017 to focus on his own art career. A year later, a collection of paintings and sculptures were character alongside fashion pieces conveying his dynamic pop art style into utilitarian objects. Reagle’s works are included in several private collections in New York, Napa, CA and Los Angeles, CA. Kolt currently works from his studio in the Hudson Valley, NY.

Olivia Boudet

Olivia Boudet hails from the French Riviera where light, space, and sea define a reality, which is both expansive and strangely abstract. So, it is not surprising that Boudet’s paintings, in particular, cultivate a sense of stable emptiness where human presence is indicated by the simple architectural forms that break the carefully devised horizon line bifurcating the canvas into a dual color visual interplay of the tangible and intangible states of perception. Her color palette is based on soft pastels combined with a visual rigor and controlled spatial organization. It is that combination of sophisticated color combinations with the rigor of reduced form that gives these works both a visual tension and capacity to absorb the viewer.
