Bobbye Fermie, Song Thrush and Morning Wanderer, 2023
Woodcut, 38 x 55cm, edition of 10 (unframed)
Amsterdam-born artist Bobbye Fermie is renowned for her dreamlike works on paper that explore introspective female figures inhabiting imaginary spaces. Inspired by memories and photographs, her work is characterised by a limited palette which creates impact and lends each image a graphic quality.
Oliver Projects was proud to launch Bobbye’s first ever body of prints in early 2023 titled ‘Tales of the Home’. This new woodcut print is one of a pair which sees the artist working on a larger scale. In it, she continues her use of a dramatic, pared-down palette which creates gentle drama. In Bobbye’s words:
‘I had seen this really interesting window in a Dutch painting. I wanted to create an image with this window as a starting point, and imagined a scene around it where a figure had gone picking thistles early in the morning’
Bobbye studied in the Netherlands and Belgium before moving to London in 2014 to attend the Royal Drawing School. She has undertaken artistic residencies in the UK and Italy and her work has been featured in several publications. She has exhibited widely in the UK and her work is currently held at several collections, including the Morritz-Heyman Collection, The Royal Collection and Soho House. She lives and works in north London.
