[Oliver Winconek]

Hi all, I've been tucked away in the studio for the last 3 months working on brand new paintings and prints for my up coming solo show.

Details below -

Fish out of water - Spray paint, stencil and Acrylic on canvas, 100 x 100cm

'Everything in between'

A brand new collection of paintings and prints by Oliver Winconek. This is my first big UK solo show, I've finally plucked up the courage after taking part in loads of group shows over the years.

The show is on at Castle Arts Gallery in Canterbury, Kent. The private view is 1st September, 6-8pm, all are welcome. Drop the gallery an email to [e-mail] to be added to the guest list.

I will also be releasing two new prints on the night, there will be a full catalogue available of all the work as the show opens, 40 of the show catalogues have been boxed and I have hand painted each one, these will be available at £75 each.

Hope to see lots of you at the show, I will be the one in the shiny blue suit

Excellent, the detail on 'Fish out of water' is juicy and love the textures... the little blighter looks a bit down on his luck tho.

Hopefully going to try and make it along sir, weirdly enough thought about you locked away in your studio today and whizzed over to your website to see if there were any sneaky previews (signed up to your newsletter whilst I was there). Love the site, is it quite new?

Anyways, great work, can't wait to see it all.

congrats on the show! fish out of water agree looks amazing! im so sure going to amaze people that come to the show! wish all the best!...s

[Oliver Winconek]

AP - Cheers Ian, wanted to make sure all the work was the best stuff I've ever produced, I was keen to do a stencil show but felt that I wanted to add more, hence why I started to work into the paintings with acrylics and paint markers.

Really hope you can make it to the show, would be good to catch up. The site is new, have just had it all updated. quite a few extra bits to come from the site as well as the months progress.


Sohoria - Thank you for the kind words, I hope people will be amazed, I've experimented a lot with the new work so it will be great to see peoples reactions to it

[jusdeep]

Looking very nice Oliver. Agree with AP, the painting should have been called 'But why so sad fishy?'
I'll be keeping an eye on your first solo show. Loving the progression of your work over the last few years.
I doubt I will be able to make it to the show, but best of luck mate, you thoroughly deserve the recognition I am sure this show will bring.

[Oliver Winconek]

jusdeep - ha ha could you imagine the flak I would have come under if I'd called it that!

Real shame you cant make the show, hopefully see you at the next one I do. Thanks, catch up soon

OW - You are very technically gifted. Absolutely love this. Love your shops and street scapes. Any in the new show? Good luck in Canterbury

[Oliver Winconek]

smellmyfinger - Thank you, I appreciate that. None of the shops in this show, I have concentrated on large paintings and prints.

I will be doing more drawings soon though, I really enjoy making them. I have done some street scapes, the piece I'm most happiest with is a 4 layer painting on clear perspex with each layer spaced apart so it gives an impression of depth, almost looks 3D!

Congrats and good luck.
