This work was created for the group show ‘This is Me’, curated and coordinated by Studio ARTES and hosted by Chrissie Cotter Gallery. Oliver wanted to show a part of his creative process that most people don’t get to see - throughout his studio days, Oli often paints sections of his face, arms and legs, sometimes words, letters or numbers and sometimes colour blocks. This process is habitual, and the process of creating this ‘costume’, which is sometimes inspired by the characters and subjects he is painting, is arguably just as important as the exhibited outcomes.
