Remember the feeling, not the timeline. THE 90s is an abstract art journey through memory, colour, visibility, energy, pride and joy. THE 90s: An Art Exhibition by Olivier Salvas Where did the colours go? With THE 90s , contemporary artist Olivier Salvas transforms nostalgia into a vibrant reflection on individuality, self-expression, and the courage to stand apart in a world increasingly drawn toward conformity. Inspired by photographs of the 1990s — a time when homes, cars, fashion, and everyday objects were filled with bold colours and personality — this immersive exhibition explores the decade not only as a moment in time, but as a metaphor. The 90s represents a place where colour symbolized freedom, imagination, and identity. Today, as society often embraces a more “beige” aesthetic through repetition, trends, and sameness, Salvas asks: Where did the colours go? Through expressive abstract paintings featuring colours reminiscent of the 1990s, Salvas invites viewers to rediscover the importance of individuality and the power of embracing who they truly are. The works celebrate the beauty of standing out, resisting the pressure to blend in, and continuing to bring colour into spaces that have become increasingly uniform. At its heart, THE 90s is a celebration of memory, colour, visibility, energy, joy, and pride .
