About this artwork
This work was my first exploration using different techniques. While in progress, a close family member passed away very suddenly and that event changed the direction of this piece. The title of “Walkabout” has a dual meaning. Firstly, in keeping with the Aboriginal meaning of an occasional interruption of regular work to go wandering and the second to convey my feeling that physical departure doesn’t necessarily mean a permanent “goodbye”.

A foundation layer was originally poured onto the canvas in 2018 providing areas of texture to this stunning piece. In early 2021 the original pour was embellished with mixed media comprising elements of decoupage, stencilling and expressive brush strokes. The end result is a re-invention of earlier techniques.
Signed to the back to allow for hanging in any orientation. Finished in archival quality UV resistant satin varnish, & ready to hang.

Monique Oliver
United Kingdom
Credentials
- Prizewinner
- Works on commission
Monique Oliver is a contemporary artist known for her distinctive approach combining spontaneous reactions with meticulously controlled techniques. Her work explores human emotions and mental states, often drawing from her personal battles with ill-health. These experiences necessitate prolonged periods of reflection followed by manic bursts of creativity, a duality that is vividly mirrored in her art. Oliver’s compositions use unusual colour combinations and dynamic patterns to evoke the unpredictable beauty found in her own “inner landscape”
Oliver has exhibited in the UK, EU, and USA. Representation by several fine art galleries, a short-listing for the Creates Magazine Artist Prize in 2018, and an Artrepreneur Award in 2022, solidified her status as a significant contemporary artist. Oliver continues to push the boundaries of fluid art, challenging viewers' perceptions and eliciting visceral responses.
