If you’re coming to see us this weekend, you’re in for a treat!! Artist has graced us with some incredible artwork that beautifully incorporates into our Jolly Space! About the artist:

Olivia Reynolds is an emerging Chilean painter. Her work is characterized by the development of visual proposals, where the center of her reflection is marked by the material, formal and installation aspects. With drawing and painting as her main means of expression, she has freely explored a wide range of techniques, mediums and materials. From materiality itself to bodily gestures, she generates an encounter of different energies, which contributes to expanding the link with the public through the senses.

Her work shows a particular interest in searching for different chromatic and compositional relationships that permanently appear within the process. Insistently adding and covering layers of pigment and lines, accidents and intention become intertwined to the point they are indivisible.
Moving between figuration and abstraction, her paintings include references to nature, the body, caricatures and geometry. These generate associations with various sensations and emotions, without shying away from contradictions, avoiding easy classification and remaining open to interpretation.
