Artist Talk - Olivia Irvine

Olivia will speak about how her oil paintings come about, including the techniques she uses and the themes and ideas she is interested in.  Mention will be made of how these have changed over the years but also how certain subject matter is being revisited.  She will talk specifically about how she starts a painting using colour and spontaneous mark-making.  This will lead on to how particular paintings in the exhibition evolved from abstract beginnings into improvised figurative compositions and what these mean to her.  Her use of drawing will be discussed and she will have a selection of sketchbooks on display.

Cost: Free, however places are limited. To book please email your name, contact email, phone number and number of guests to: burgh.halls@westlothian.gov.uk (opens new window)
