Lindsey De Ovies
As an American artist living in Paris, Lindsey De Ovies is a cultural hybrid straddling two vastly different civilizations, remaining somewhat alien in both. Observing her reality from this bifocal vantage point has informed the art of Lindsey De Ovies and provided her with an exceptionally fertile breeding ground for new material.
Lindsey de Ovies is a self-taught sculptor. Following her studies at Parsons School of Design, Lindsey De Ovies worked as a fashion designer for 15 years in New York, Asia and Europe. After moving to Paris in 1989, her passion for fashion design slowly evaporated, and in 2000 Lindsey De Ovies began her career as an artist. Over the past ten years, Lindsey De Ovies has exhibited extensively in the United States and Europe and her work is part of private collections around the world..

Biography:
Lindsey de Ovies.- What differentiates one artist from another is their perspective—that unique take on the internal/external world that ideally pulls the viewer in. As an American artist living in Paris, I am a cultural hybrid straddling two vastly different civilizations, remaining somewhat alien in both. Observing my reality from this bifocal vantage point has informed my art and provided me with an exceptionally fertile breeding ground for new material.
Essentially my work questions all things conventional: commitment/responsibility, social integration, stereotype/identity, and all stages of maturing (birth, youth, marriage, family, mid-life, the randomness of death & beyond). In an effort to defy gravity, my pieces are often light on the surface, but multi-layered in message.
