nice work,really like the first one

Thanks Hermit, the top one seems to be everyones favourite judging by the feedback I've had so far

[Bram]

1st one is a cracker Oliver!

[Oliver Winconek]

Cheers Coach, all done! I need sleep!

[Karl Read]

Lovin the first one also. Your work is really coming along nicely.

[Oliver Winconek]

Thanks Guys, starting to wish I'd made the first one an edition of 20!

[Martin Whatson]

As sail above! The top one is great!
Linocuts is such a great print medium, I like the roughness!

Me too, really enjoy the fact that you get a much more varied result than most other forms of printing, I wanted these pieces to be like mini paintings rather than just a print

[Oliver Winconek]

The new linocuts are now on OPUS Underground's website available to buy - www.opusunderground.com/artists/OliverWinconek and also to view in person at the Manchester buy art fair 2009

Again, really liking the first one... always interesting to see different styles!

Thanks dellboyy, I'd really missed experimenting with my work, it's so easy to get locked in to a definite way of working when you are stencil cutting

Thank you Jean Pascal, I appreciate the kind feedback

[Oliver Winconek]

For anyone that manages to get along to the Manchester buy art fair, you can see these pieces and more from me on the OPUS Gallery and Castle Arts stands (363 and 364)

Hmm thats odd, you would have seen 'Time to reflect' on the Castle Arts stand, Hayley and Diana are on the OPUS Gallery stand, I'm being represented by 2 different galleries at this show, apologies for the confusion

[Oliver Winconek]

Here are a few new pieces I've been working on over the past week, they are all A3 (297 x 420 mm) in size and are hand painted using white Gouache on Black mountboard

All feedback welcome

Thanks for the feedback, the lines for me are what define the contours of the face, it's hard to photograph as it gives the paintings a hard edge, will get the camera out later and try and improve the look of them so they are more like the originals

[Martin Whatson]

The second one is fantastic mate.
Alltho. I like the colour ones better.
Keep it up!!

[Daniel Silk]

Nice work! I like the top one best

[Happy Shopper]

looks like you've found yourself a nice style.
some are nicer than others, but really looking good.

glad to see a reduction in the 'scary eye' syndrome

Thanks Martin, I must admit that I prefer to work in colour although it has been fun to strip that away and just concentrate on technique and brushwork

Thanks happyshopper, I'm pleased you like some more than others, least there is variety to them, I guess thats the fun thing with doing portraits

Ha ha scary eye syndrome? care to elaborate? I have to admit that I'm a big fan of eyes and the expressions that they can show without the rest of the face present, hope I haven't overdone it!

Was just looking at your work again, and realised it has similarities with James Bakers work with the use of the bold blocks of colour I think a joint show between the two of you would work well.

I can see what you mean, have liked James' work for a while now ever since I saw it on Edge Art, he certainly has a fascination with luminous colours!
