Deliberately Absent

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.

The light qualities of the perspex frame (a frosted yellow back panel and a tinted clear yellow 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 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 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.

Different Sides of the Same Coin

Sold

SOLD

A mounted one-off, original screenprint in a custom perspex frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

The light qualities of the perspex frame work with the colours within the screenprint, making the image seem different in every lighting condition. The coloured perspex frame reflects the playful approach that Olivia takes when creating each piece.

This piece of work is inspired and a reflection of the combination of Olivia’s surroundings and environments, as she equally splits her time between the English rural countryside and the geometric cityscape of London. Working with contrasts in line, colour and form, a sense of harmony is achieved by balancing this series of juxtapositions.

This original screenprint (1 of 1) is sandwiched between two pieces of perspex, one yellow and one blue, which adds an additional element of colour when viewed from an angle.

The perspex comes with spilt batons on the reverse so it is easily attachable to the wall. The artwork is in very good condition.

SOLD

A beautifully crafted Etruscan horse sculpture, handmade in patinated bronze.

This bronze sculpture is a minimalist and abstract representation of a figure riding a two-wheeled chariot pulled by a stylized horse. The rider has an elongated, simplified human form with minimal facial features. One arm is raised, holding what appears to be a small object, while the other arm extends forward to hold the reins. The figure wears a headpiece or helmet, giving it an ancient or warrior-like appearance.

The horse is depicted in a highly stylized and geometric form. Its head is elongated and curves downward, and it has a pronounced, comb-like mane extending over the head and neck. The horse’s body is reduced to essential shapes, with slender, angular legs suggesting movement.

The chariot is composed of two large, spoked wheels with a minimalist frame connecting the rider and the horse. The wheels are circular with four spokes each, adding to the abstract, geometric aesthetic. The structure is open and linear, emphasizing simplicity over detail.

Made of bronze, the sculpture has a dark, aged patina that enhances its ancient and timeless feel. The surface is slightly rough, contributing to its handcrafted, archaic quality.

This sculpture combines ancient motifs with modern abstraction, portraying a rider on a horse-drawn chariot in a highly stylized and minimalist form. The piece evokes a sense of historical significance while celebrating clean, geometric design, blending tradition with modern artistic expression.

The interplay of cool blues and greys with the warmth of the red creates a striking visual tension, drawing the viewer’s eye to the fruit as the focal point.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some slight age wear to its edges but is very stable.

Size: 42 x 48 cm (including frame)
