Sold

SOLD

A fun and edgy one-off original monoprint presented in a coloured frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

This monoprint is created from two individual stencils, layered to create a dynamic interaction of line, form and colour. Where the shapes overlap, the rich, oil-based inks merge to produce unique hues, adding depth and vibrancy. Variations in the transparency and thickness of ink contribute texture, enhancing the layered conversation between the materials and the composition’s visual elements.

This composition explores juxtapositions, both formally and conceptually, between two different environments – the urban city and the rural countryside. The straight and angled lines allude to the urban cityscape, while the curved and more organic forms are remiscnent of the rolling countryside. Olivia works with contrasts in line, colour and form and a sense of harmony is achieved by balancing this series of juxtapositions.

This monoprint is housed in a vivid yellow frame that further enhances the artwork within. Both frame and artwork are in excellent condition.

Sold

SOLD

A fun and edgy one-off original monoprint presented in a coloured frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

This monoprint is created from three stencils layered on top of one another, each in a different colour and of different forms. When examined closely, there is a lovely complexity to the artwork as the thickness of the ink of the final layer (dark blue) almost has a three dimensional quality, yet it is more transparent compared to the green opaque layer beneath. The mixture of the curved and straight lines accentuate one another through their contrasts.

Opening

Sold

SOLD

A fun and edgy one-off original digitally manipulated monoprint sandwiched between a custom perspex frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

This is a digital monoprint (only one exists, it is original and one-of-a-kind) of a scanned in monoprint, which was digitally edited and manipulated. Through the digital editing process Olivia is able to have greater control over the specific colours and textures, emphasising the textural quality of the ink, increasing the scale and saturating the colours, creating a more dynamic dialogue between the lines, forms and colours.

The light qualities of the perspex frame (a frosted a frosted orange back panel and a tinted blue front) work with the colours within the piece, making the image seem different in every lighting condition. The coloured perspex frames reflect the playful approach Olivia takes when creating each piece. Everything she does is completely unique and different every time.

This digitally manipulated monoprint is presented within two layers of coloured perspex that are part of the artistic process. The perspex frames are custom made to accompany the print that is in them – the colours of the front and back panels are chosen to compliment and work with the colours in the print. Spilt batons are on the reverse so it is easily attachable to the wall and they are positioned in all four directions on the reverse, so that you can choose the direction it is hung. Both frame and artwork are in excellent condition.

The Pink Umbrella

Sold

SOLD

A enchanting and vibrant mid-century modernist landscape composition that combines elements of fauvism and abstraction, painted in oil onto board.

Cubist Interior

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed mid-century still life composition with strong cubist influences, painted in oil onto board.

The composition features a chair, a lemon, a table, and a vase with elongated green leaves, set against a structured interior setting.

Drawing inspiration from elements of cubism and geometric abstraction, the artist has masterfully flattened and fragmented the scene down to distinct geometric planes and angular shapes that interact with one another. Each respective shape seems to occupy its own distinct space, yet together they form a cohesive and harmonious whole.

The colour palette is muted and earthy, dominated by browns, creams, and subdued pinks, contrasted by a pop of green from the leaves and the yellow accent from the lemon on the table. These contrasting darker and lighter tones highlight the three-dimensional qualities of each object, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the board.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting has some minor surface marks, and the frame has some light scuffing.

River Walk

Sold

SOLD

A body of water fills the foreground of the painting, serving as a mirror as it reflects the fragmented, impressionistic forms of the city and indistinct figures along its edge. The water’s surface is painted with loose, sweeping brushstrokes, creating a sense of movement and fluidity.

In the middle ground, two indistinct figures traverse towards a bridge. In the background, the cityscape and foliage fill the canvas, their forms abstracted and simplified down into geometric shapes and overlapping forms.

Sheep in Winter

Sold

SOLD

A seemingly simple yet very effective oil painting that explores the concepts of minimalism and abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas.

The artwork depicts a group of sheep situated in what we can discern to be a snow-filled landscape setting, where all forms presented are spontaneously outlined in thin black lines.

Upon first glance, this work may be recognised for its childlike simplicity. However as we take time to explore the painting further, we notice that the artist has thoughtfully chosen to eliminate non essentials – focusing our attention to the beautiful essence of colour, unrestrained brushwork, as well as the qualities of lines that may come across as simplistic but inherently powerful enough to give rise to forms.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs but this does not detract from the overall appearance.
