Continental Art Exhibition

This exhibition by Oliver Needs is based on a range of influences on Oliver's work including visiting New York, Buenos Aires in Argentina where Oliver has some relatives, as well as Spain, Italy, and other parts of Europe.

Oliver Needs is a London Artist who trained at Chelsea College of Arts, Art Foundation in 2001 and University of East London, BA Fine Art in 2004. Originally focusing on traditional techniques of drawing and painting from life, he has more recently delved into his subconscious with expressive action style painting and other forms of patterns often influenced by nature. Inspired from a young age by Picasso, Van Gogh as well as Abstract Expressionism. He is exploring the world through art. Art can allow people to take a moment to explore themselves and the world around.

Oliver travelled abroad a lot as a youngster, especially throughout Europe and its great museums and galleries and found those trips inspirational. However, New York and the Museum of Modern Art is a particular favourite. Though London still captivates and inspires and naturally draws a lot of talent and fresh ideas so is a very special place too. Oliver has been involved in numerous group shows and individual art shows over the years throughout East, Central and West London. He plans to continue expanding the audience who see and buy his work yearly.
