5 minutes with Olly Williamson Fen Ditton Gallery

    • Visual Arts

Olly Williamson was born in 1994 and grew up in a village just
outside of Preston.  He completed the Drawing ear at the Royal Drawing School in 2023, after graduating from Manchester School of Art with a first-class honours in Fine Art in 2016.

Olly makes work about quiet situations in life, utilising
intense observation and experimental structures of composition. His images reflect the underlying rhythms of the people and the world he sees around him, hoping to make the everyday feel monumental.

This conversation was during our current Voices in Drawing exhibition. The exhibition showcases the work of six recent graduates and alumni from The Royal Drawing School and is open until Sunday 25th February 2024.
