About the Item
Olivia Kemp’s ink drawings are both intricate and expansive, fruit of an intuitive stream-of-consciousness approach to drawing. She works in pen on paper without any pencil underdrawing or preparatory sketches to create monumental landscapes packed with imagined details.
This large work describes a Classical garden alive with writhing snakes. Roman columns, Renaissance sculptures, ceramic vessels and verdant plants all attest to the power of the Garden as an archetype for an idealised lost past. Within this, the serpent represents both temptation and corruption, an earthly counterbalance to unblemished innocence. Their looping forms knit together a complex composition, leading the eye through a garden so dense it becomes a labyrinth, impossible to absorb in its entirety. A group of rotting apples in an accompanying drawing further the theme of temptation and corruption of the flesh.
Olivia Kemp studied BA Fine Art: Painting at Winchester School of Art, graduating in 2011, and completed “The Drawing Year” postgraduate programme at The Royal Drawing School in 2014. Her work is held in The Royal Collection (including the personal collection of King Charles), the Victoria & Albert Museum, and The Rothschild Collection, for whom she was commissioned to create a piece based on the RIBA award-winning Flint House (2015).
