Minimalist Ballerinas And Contorted Emotion: The Dark Expressionism Of Painter Otto

Otto is a 22-year-old self-taught French painter who works in Paris and has exhibited at Very Art Gallery.

His dark, minimalist expressionism features elongated ballerinas, contorted figures, and emotional abstraction on paper using ink, charcoal, and paint. Recurring motifs include addiction, memory, contrast, and choice (“No choice,” “Addiction,” “Souviens toi”), blending pop art layering with classical dance inspiration.
