Oliver Wilcox Lost Profile Studio

Oliver Wilcox is an artist, designer, collector and director of Lost Profile Studio, based in Coburg, Victoria. At Lost Profile, he designs and fabricates a restrained collection of Art Deco and Brutalist-inspired lighting, furniture, homewares and hardware, produced in-house and made to order. Alongside this commercial practice, Oliver develops an independent body of artwork encompassing painting and one-off sculptural furniture. His work frequently incorporates salvaged timber and other reclaimed materials, drawing on traditional craft techniques, vernacular forms and the history of objects. Through these works, he explores materiality, craftsmanship and shifting notions of value, bringing familiar forms and processes into a contemporary context.
