Oliver Lunn is a London-based artist working in abstract mixed media.
Curious about found materials that are charged with history, Lunn hunts for old magazines and picks up old papers in the street. He manipulates these paper materials to create something that’s painterly and expressive. The work itself is multi-layered, stemming from a process that continually adds and subtracts.
Part of his inspiration comes from the urban environment where he lives, the excitement of being out in the world and noticing things, marks on walls, half-legible text and torn down posters. In his work he embraces mishaps, marks and stains. He employs soft colours and faint imagery that aren't always visible on first glance, with quiet details lurking in the background.
