Olly Fathers Mini Offcuts 3, 2022 Various Wood Veneers on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About Olly Fathers is an artist based in Brixton, London. His work explores the relations between abstract shapes, different materials, and forms. Creating well finished, often playful pieces that encourage the viewer to take a closer look to understand the balance and precision involved. With a strict eye for detail, Olly takes great satisfaction in the making process and this often becomes influential in the outcome of his work. With a keen interest in woodwork, both as a skill and its use in Art and Design, Olly has developed a desire to use wood in his practice and creates pieces using a range of different types and species. These works take inspiration from architecture, design, and culture including early computer technology and graphics. These pieces use incredibly intricately cut wood veneers brought together using self-taught marquetry techniques. Olly creates beautifully finished pieces, with contrasting natural and dyed coloured wood which causes the shapes to appear raised out the surface, in a Tromp L'oeil effect.
