Olivia Lomench Gill @ Abbott & Holder

Olivia Lomenech Gill’s wonderful illustrations for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them drew great strength from her diverse array of techniques as well as her fascination with wildlife. This new body of work, A Parlement of Birds, made especially for this exhibition, sees her explore further the possibilities of printmaking techniques to portray some of her favourite creatures. Sometimes these are informed by myth and fable, and sometimes purely acts of observation, but each work is an opportunity to explore and experiment further with a range of media.
