Description
Artist: Richard J. Oliver
Title: Rose
Medium: Mixed
Demensions: 18" W x 23" H
Description: A multi layer mixed media piece, one diffused paper layer with two layers cut from the Dog Collars and then painted in oil. The image was made with a backlight box to make the image have the feel of an animation cell. Richard chose a simple portrait to showcase his usual style of painting, and eliminate any visual reference to dogs or collars. By doing this he hopes to make the painting more universally appealing and hopefully find a home whilst raising money for the charities.
Richard J Oliver was born and raised in Wales, United Kingdom, studied Fine Art at the University of the West of England and undertook his Masters at UWIC in Wales. In his time between studies, Oliver built his reputation, beginning in Wales and later gaining recognition throughout the UK. His work has been included in numerous European group shows, which then segued into solo shows, including an exhibition at the prestigious Museum of Modern Art in Wales.
Oliver's early work focused on his homeland, particularly the struggle of its youth trying to find identity in the aftermath of the local mining industry's demise. His work often showcased the skeleton landscapes of mining villages in the Welsh valleys juxtaposed with contemporary youth.
His latest works explore more universal subjects, from environmental issues to humanitarian and social problems that are close to his heart.
