'Hello my name is...' by Olly O'Neill
OPEN: 19th November - 1st December
OPEN VIEW: 21st November, 18:00-20:00
MEET THE ARTIST: 1st December, 13:00-15:00
Main Gallery
Olly O’Neill resists identifying as a single style of painter, but is heavily influenced by historical abstract painting and Pop-art.
Working from his city centre studio O’Neills painted works explore the conversations between urban and digital spaces challenging authorship and conventional painting practice; as well as holding references to video games and philosophy. For O’Neill’s first solo show he positions himself as an interface between the real and virtual, often referring to digital workspaces or embracing the unpredictable, joyous and stressful nature of painting.
‘I’ve tried to break away from painting throughout uni, working in printmaking and fashion, but something always pulled me back in.’
Born in 1999 O’Neill graduated from Norwich University in 2023 with a degree in Fine Art and is currently studying for his MA.
He takes influence from music, film and video games as well as high and low art.
’At the moment I’m really into Michel Majerus, Joan Mitchell and Barbara Kreuger, but also, like, bits of graffiti.'
His extensive body of work is an ongoing exploration into his own methods and artistic
development.

'Archetypes' by Oliver Hanney
OPEN: 19th November - 24th November
OPEN VIEW: 23rd November, 13:00-15:00
Front Room
Having previously exhibited as a photographer, this is Oliver’s first solo exhibition as a mixed media artist. Fascinated by myth and legend, Oliver has been drawn to the works of Jung and Nietzsche and ideas about archetype – essentially primitive mental images passed down through generations from our earliest human ancestors and believed to be present in our collective unconscious. Philosophy, psychology and religion play a major part in Oli’s work as do characters from popular fiction and folklore.
Oliver combines AI with photoshop and digital images drawn with a stylus. He then enhances them using oil paint, pen, acrylic, plaster and spray paint. He upcycles frames wherever possible to create works which, whilst containing contemporary and futuristic elements, reference the artistic and collective past.
About the Artist:
Oliver, aka Oli, first began to excel in art, photography and drama when he attended a boarding school in Newcastle that specialised in supporting young people with dyslexia. He opted to continue with these interests through a Foundation course in Leicester where he studied art whilst also performing with two drama groups and, as a talented musician, taking part in festivals. Oli chose to specialise in Fine Art and moved to Norwich where he studied at the University of the Arts in the city centre. Heavily focussed on conceptual art, the course enabled Oli to develop photographic and digital skills which he continued exploring after graduating. He became skilled in the use of photoshop and other digital mediums and exhibited his photographs. At this time he also became very interested in philosophy, psychology, hypnotherapy and neuro-linguistic programming. After a period of ill health, Oli was diagnosed with ADHD. He has subsequently found a way of channelling his energies into periods of intense creative activity. His post graduate interests and studies now heavily inform his work whilst his graphic and digital skills are combining with more traditional methods and materials to create intriguing, imaginative, witty and thought-provoking pieces.
