Like Van Gogh, Olley has arranged the joyfully casual blooms in slip-glazed earthenware, no doubt a careful selection from the artist's substantial collection of ceramic vessels. Combined, the composition serves to create anintimate, uplifting drama for the eye and mind to explore.
Paying homage to the domestic surroundings which continue to provide her inspiration, indeed the work reveals the very essence of the artist's identity; as Barry Pearce aptly notes,' In her paintings, the space surrounding each bowl of fruit, each vase of flowers, and through which the eye traverses a cacophony of surfaces such as patterned carpets, modulated walls and cluttered tabletops, resounds with her presence.
These are reflections of the things she loves, and which embellish the centre of how she prefers her existence to be. Capon, E.
