About

Ollie (b.2000) is a painter based in London.

His artistic practice involves depicting found imagery through the fictional space of his paintings. He uses painting as a tool to bring new meaning to this imagery, often alluding to an anthropomorphic presence.

Playing with composition and form, he investigates the tension and connections surrounding spaces and objects, asking questions about meaning, desire and confinement. 

Ollie’s work juxtaposes feelings of urgency and being with the stillness of everyday life,  exploring themes of abundance, temptation and seclusion. 

His process entails imaginative reconstruction, combining observation and memory to create a dream like finish.
