Both a draftsman and painter, Olivier Nottellet transforms his sketchbook works into monumental installations using paint and manufactured objects. His method is inspired by film editing processes, creating a singular and poetic universe, sometimes funny and absurd, and often inhabited by male bureaucratic silhouettes. His work strives to transform and question the spaces entrusted to him, favouring the hypotheses of narratives and multifaceted points of view. He has regularly exhibited in France and abroad: Biennale de Sao Paulo (2012), Centre Régional d'art Contemporain Sète (2013), Domaine de Kerguéhennec (2015), Galerie Eva Steynen-Antwerp ( 2017), GmoMA- Gyeonggi Seoul ( 2018). He currently teaches drawing and painting at the ENSBA in Lyon, where he lives and works. He is represented by Odile Ouizeman Gallery in Paris.

His exhibition at the Fonseca Macedo gallery will be his first intervention in Portugal and in the archipelago of the Azores, a place in which he spent part of his childhood.
