Oliver works from his Birmingham studios using chalk pastel as a
medium to interrogate and question society, particularly how it is
affected by media and industry. His most recent work is principally
concerned with flesh and how it is interpreted and engaged in the
day to day. Oliver exhibits his work on both national and
international platforms including at his gallery in Los
Angeles.

re-learning what is actually presented to us.
