Oliver Lang

Oliver Lang is a contemporary visual artist from the United Kingdom, known for his evocative explorations of memory, identity, and the interplay between urban environments and personal histories. Born in Manchester in 1987, Lang developed a fascination with the textures and narratives embedded in city landscapes, which later became central to his artistic practice. After obtaining a degree in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London, Lang established his studio in East London, where he began experimenting with mixed media, often blending photography, found materials, and abstract painting.

His work is characterized by its atmospheric layering and subtle nods to architectural forms, inviting viewers to linger and unravel hidden stories. Lang’s art has been exhibited in galleries across the UK and Europe, and he has participated in notable group shows at the Tate Modern and Centre Pompidou. He continues to push the boundaries of contemporary art, drawing inspiration from both the resilience and fragility of urban life, and remains a passionate advocate for arts education and community engagement.
