Cause and effect of premeditated acts of kindness., Oliver Perry

Stretching the abstraction of the figure into the realms of the obsolete, the subject has become a mass of overlapping geometric forms and organic shapes that are compete with the area surrounding them.

The fundamental yet irreversible oscillation of change., Oliver Perry

Based on the principals of the Golden Section/Ratio this bright and energetic painting has undertones of modern contemporary Jazz.

Composition in blue, and the influence of organic matter., Oliver Perry

Organic, yet strangely pleasing and hipnotic geometric forms battle for supremacy over the random abstraction of fragmented fields of colour.

Under the armour of resonable doubt., Oliver Perry

The building blocks of the figure are explored through abstraction to provide a contemporary outlook on the human condition, stripped bare of the flesh like armour the body becomes a series of geometric shapes and organic forms.

The ambition of purposeful contradiction., Oliver Perry

Multi layered planes of colour compete with geometric shapes for control of space, playing games with perspective and juggling with form.
