Troy Ohlson Wildscape Wildlife Artist of the Year 2004 Prize Winner Echoes of the art and exotic creatures of my travels to West Africa and the Bahamas enrich my work. The wildlife, skies and landscapes of Sussex and my tiny Brighton garden inspire and enchant me. Time spent swimming and diving in the waters of Paradise Island and Nassau have made fish one of my favourite subjects. Pattern fascinates me. I enjoy contrasting bold shapes with fine and intricate detail to create texture and movement. Most of my pieces can be viewed as both abstract and figurative - this duality is fundamental to my practice. I blur the boundaries between painting and printmaking, mixing media within each image, often adding collage, watercolour, acrylic, and pen & ink to my paintings, etchings and linocuts, increasingly incorporating emerging technology and digital techniques. The influence of each medium plays an important part in determining the character of the final piece. My
etchings are created using nitric acid to burn the
images into metal plates which I then hand ink and
print individually on a traditional etching press.
I experiment with colour and techniques within each
etching Edition. Studio
