Olivia Lennon: Outer Spaces

Outer Spaces at BBA Gallery is an overview of Olivia Lennon’s exploration into the cosmos. The exhibition is compiled of varied watercolour paintings, labour-intensively painted by hand with fine sable brushes, specialist interference watercolours with an exactitude that resembles digital printing. These artworks are informed by intensive research, inspired by the artist’s natural curiosity with historical ideas and philosophical concepts, which she then translates into meticulous opalescent illustrations. Whether navigating interstellar spaces, mapping the crossing of geographical borders or visualising the invisible flow of microscopic miasmas, Lennon’s work establishes new perspectives of space on a macro- as well as on a microscopic level.
