Olivia Tew is a visual artist who works from her cottage garden studio in a small Devon village on the outskirts of Exeter. She studied fashion at university and has a background in portraiture with a history of creating visually striking and deeply personal portraits.
Her art practice is primarily focused on painting, mainly deploying her preferred medium of oil paints to create an impasto surface. Through her distinctive use of colour, expressive mark marking and loose gestural textured surfaces her uplifting work evokes a sense of energy, freedom and nostalgia.
For this collection Olivia has turned her focus towards still life depictions of floral arrangements and everyday scenes. She has created vibrant pieces bursting with optimism, her loose expressive style giving a sense of spontaneity and freedom.
I love the romantic, untamed beauty of the paintings, the relaxed, carefree aura they emanate, not to mention the delicious colour palette that somehow manages to be both soft and bold at the same time. I’m thrilled to be able to bring you this early collection of works from such an exciting artist with a very promising future ahead of her!
