Ollie (he/they) grew up in Cape Town, South Africa, between the Atlantic Ocean and the foothills of Table Mountain. The dissonance of being in a city and immersed in nature led Ollie to a career exploring the connections between human society and natural systems, a subject they continue to examine in their practice. Drawn to how light falls on natural and manufactured objects in the landscape, Ollie paints or draws initially from life, finding harmony in the shapes and structures of the land. Each piece then evolves through drawing, printmaking, weaving, and painting from memory. This body of work explores landscapes in and around the UK including Cornwall, London, and Scotland. These monotypes explore how colour and working from memory influence the tonal drawings Ollie made on walks in different parts of the UK during the winter of 2024-25. Ollie works from their studio in East London.
