Born in Toronto, Canada in 1979 Oli Goldsmith's collage paintings / contemporary combines merge digital output and transfer processes with paint, ink and traditional media.

My work explores the impact of technology on the human psyche; on a personal and collective level. The image and the word seem to explode the possible for our species - those most stunning human traits as self-awareness and comprehension of conscious phenomena both expand and are influenced by our media environment.

While working with surreal and often personal material - my compositions are informed by popular culture, evoking the consumer media landscapes that surround us online and off. I am intrigued by how communications technologies shape and define the modern sense of what it means to be an individual and impacts our sense of Self.
