Oliver Bloom

• My work explores the interaction between humans and the natural and urban worlds. Based in London I am compelled visually by urbanism in its variety, whilst also being fascinated and enchanted by the organic and natural world. I was educated on a farming school and still have a stong connection to rural life. Being both a sculptor and painter I have a 3 dimensional approach to painting. The style of my work ranges from the abstract to the figurative. These diverse styles are unified by elements of organic shapes and constructed forms. The application of mood is of great importance to me and I utilise a play of colour in various shades to activate certain areas I need to express. 2011 Catto Gallery Hampstead 2007 Solo Show The Barnsbury London N1 2006 Solo show foyer Pleasance Theatre London N1 2004 The Steam passage, London Islington. 2001-2003 Permanent exhibition at Le Boucl'Art, Bordeaux 2002 Office de Tourisme, La Charente, France 2002 10 Salon des Artes Dordogne, France 2002 Gallerie Cinq Riberac, France 2002 Solo.
