Oliver Ruuger’s work displays a juxtaposition of ordinary objects in an unusual context, giving new meanings to familiar things.  A metamorphosis of  ordinary items, a surreal style full of mystery. Oliver Ruuger has the power to transform any object into something magical and surprising, he likes to play with everyday items placing them in foreign contexts and questioning their familiar meanings.

“If one looks at a thing with the intention of trying to discover what it means, one ends up no longer seeing the thing itself, but of thinking of the question that is raised.”

René Magritte

Oliver Ruuger graduated with distinction from MA Fashion Artefact in 2011, under Dai Rees at LCF. His MA collection of umbrellas, briefcases and sculptural saddles is a result of a personal exploration of design process, material and make. The articles exhibit a high level of technical ability as he has combined modern hi tech processes with low tech manual workmanship to produce an accomplished body of work for which he received the MA Award in Design.
