"Olivier Duhamel's nudes take on a life of their own. Light falls softly on the skin's contours, transforming the body into a sculptural work... after all, in these drawings, the female body becomes something to be celebrated rather than hidden away by layers of clothing"
Whitney Barton ("Waiheke Marketplace" - june 2006)
"Je suppose que vos modeles doivent etre fieres de poser pour vous comme vous devez etre fier de pouvoir les "croquer". Vous etes un artiste un vrai, cela se sent chez vous, c'est dans votre ame et surement inne. Bravo continuez ainsi a nous faire decouvrir la beaute du corps, sans pudeur, sans arriere-pensee, juste parce que c'est beau et qu'il faut le montrer pour que les gens en prennent reellement conscience."
Valerie (Quebec - June 2006)
" I just had to tell you how much I loved your sketches! I especially liked the female nudes. It made me want to pick up my pencils again after a long time :)
Anyway, just wanted to let you know how much I admire your work. "
Thanks, "
Michelle (Australia - may 2006)
"Olivier Duhamel jongle entre portraits et nus avec ses graphites, toujours travaillés avec douceur...Il s'adonne également à la sculpture avec bonheur."
Douxpastel (France)
"The New Zealand artist Olivier Duhamel uses his basic materials, like graphite or charcoal, with a stunning virtuosity. His nudes show a decent study of the human anatomy and a respectful approach of his subjects, images of dedication and a celebration of the human form.
To capture a model on paper with the artistic freedom Duhamel achieves, takes practice, time and a keen eye for proportion. I know from experience that although his drawings may look simple, they are surely not, the composition, the endless shades of grey and the usage of shortening are really hard to master.
My personal favorites are his Virginia series, the big woman lounging, she becomes nearly a monument herself, sculptured by subtle shades of grey.
"
Art of Love, February 2006
"It was quite an arousing experience to be sketched, completely nude by a man who I don't know. I loved the whole experience."
Susan (New Zealand)
"Tes dessins me flattent, me rendent fière, tu m'apportes beaucoup plus que je n'aurais pu penser car à travers tes yeux, j'ai l'impression d'apprendre à me connaitre."
Celine (France)
" I love the sketches on your website, especially cyd and david, very erotic!"
Steve (Australia)

"Oh wow. I so want to steal your bag-of-talent. the photorealism is amazing."
Thecosmicgoose ( deviantart.com)
"That sure is an interesting piece. Love all the work you did with the corn stalks (I assume thats corn) and how she looks like she's totally surrounded and how somebody could be near but not know she's there. Also the reflection in her glasses is a nice touch. Good job. "
Pittfiend ( deviantart.com)
