Olivia Irvine in her studio

I am an artist working mainly with oil paint and charcoal. In addition, the contemporary relevance of traditional materials, such as egg tempera and fresco (pigment on damp lime plaster) fascinates me. I work from a combination of observation, recollection and invention and the resulting work is abstract as well as figurative. The image has to emerge from the formal qualities of colour and mark-making and take me by surprise.

My work is for sale and I accept commissions. Please send me a message if you are interested in receiving a price list. Prices range from £200 for works on paper to £5000 for large oil paintings.
