Nota de la galeria:
OLIVIA MAE PENDERGAST
It is not often one comes across an artist whose work is undeniably contemporary, progressive and original, yet still firmly underpinned and informed by 20th century art movements of revolutionary old masters such as Picasso, Modigliani and Gauguin.
Olivia’s paintings, and indeed the artist herself, are reminiscent of a golden age where artists were daring, bold and inventive, in search of new perspectives, greater freedom, and a simplicity that is the purity and essence of life.
Gauguin escaped the rigidity of life in France, rejecting its social conventions for the liberty, peace, and inspiration he hoped to find in Tahiti, where he created his greatest works.
For both Picasso and more significantly Modigliani, freedom, beauty and purity was to be found in their encounter with abstract art, inspired by the elegant sculptures and masks of the Fang people of Central Africa.
