Olivia Strange

Olivia Strange's (b.1984) multi-disciplinary practice is characterised by a layered narrative and highly visceral aesthetic. The work is concerned with disarming patriarchal descriptors via exploration of her Italian roots and draws on themes of Greco-Roman mythology, the female body & jouissance to portray an empowering image of queer female subjectivity. Since graduating with Distinction from Chelsea College of Arts (MA Fine Art, 2017) and receiving the Vice Chancellor Scholarship, Strange has exhibited at Annka Kulty’s Gallery, Southwark Park Galleries, Liminal Gallery and Basis Projektraum. Strange is selected for the 2021 cohort of the LCN Artist Development Programme and Ellipsis Prints 2021 Commissioning Project.
