Olivia Guillot (b. 2001) is a British artist whose practice examines perception and the sensory experience of space. She approaches the world through close attention to bodily and environmental sensations—sound, light, touch, and breath—understanding these as layers of information that shape how reality is interpreted. Her work explores how painting, through its materiality and application, can reveal and disrupt these layers of perception.

Using the malleability of paint, Guillot builds and breaks down surfaces, allowing forms and associations to emerge before they are obscured or unsettled. This process is intuitive and exploratory, involving acts of discovery, loss, and disorientation. Her work does not sit neatly within abstraction or figuration, but instead focuses on the shifting threshold between clarity and dissolution, recreating the unstable experience of seeing and being.

Guillot graduated from the University of Brighton in 2024. She held her first solo exhibition, Swallowed a Fly, at Phoenix Art Space, Brighton (2024). Her work has been presented in group exhibitions including This Is Love (TKE Studios, 2026), TEAR (Darbyshire Showrooms, 2025), The Salon Show (TKE Studios, 2025), Cahoots (Phoenix Art Space, 2025), and In the Corner of My Eye (Koppel Project, 2024). She recently co-curated The Shape of Where as part of Off Season in Margate.
