The Red Salamender (2025) Painting by Olivier De Tullasky

Olivier de Tullasky’s 2025 - New Series marks an exciting evolution in his artistic journey, embracing bold and dynamic figurative compositions in acrylic on canvas. Inspired by the vibrant energy of Keith Haring’s street art and the playful, almost rebellious spirit of Robert Combas, this new collection explores a world of vivid, graphic figures set in bold, energetic compositions.

Tullasky channels a sense of movement through exaggerated, simplified forms that pulse with life, reminiscent of both Haring’s iconic line work and Combas’ colorful, larger-than-life characters. The works feature human and abstract shapes, often contorted or dancing in exaggerated gestures, emphasizing emotional expression over detail. Each painting vibrates with bright, unfiltered colors, creating an electric, joyful atmosphere.

This new series builds on Tullasky’s signature style—characterized by its simplicity and intensity—but with a heightened emphasis on visual storytelling. The compositions are filled with symbolism and suggestive narratives that invite the viewer to interpret the raw emotion and energy embedded within each piece. The influence of street art is clear in the energetic lines and graphic quality of the paintings, while also carrying forward the conceptual weight of pop art’s exploration of culture, identity, and human connection.

2025 - New Series represents a bold leap forward for Olivier de Tullasky, merging the influences of iconic figures in contemporary art with his own unique voice, capturing the essence of modern life with a spirited, almost childlike abandon.
