Piano. Matthew. Oliver., 2021

pen & marker on paper
42 x 30 cm
SOLD - This work is now held in a private collection

This work was inspired by a moment when facilitator Matt was teaching Oli how to play the Rugrats theme tune on piano. Other facilitators present captured some images and videos which Oli used as reference material for this work.

Oli’s signature pattern work and numbering is evident within this piece, but a rare element present here is the rigid separation of the portraiture and numbering, something that blends together in many other works by the artist. Additionally, limited colour use is present which is another rarity, usually there is a varied and bright colour selection or no colour at all.

This work was purchased by the subject - Matt!
