About the work

Monoprints are sculptural in that you draw on the back of the paper, and it is a surprise turning the paper around to see what marks have been picked up. I find printing a healthy parallel to have alongside my sculptural work. With this series, I've been using more ink than usual to build up colour. I've also been looking at machinery, filtering systems and window grilles and considering spaces within spaces.

About the artist:

Born 1988 Singapore, Olivia Bax lives and works in London. Graduated from BA Fine Art at Byam Shaw School of Art, London (2010); and MFA Sculpture at Slade School of Fine Art, London (2016).

The work of Olivia Bax is often characterised by familiar elements such as a hook, handle or vessel presented in unconventional, coloured forms. However, it is the texture of the surface which offers the viewer the most immediate insight. Bax generates her own paper pulp to cover and form a mantle over linear armatures. Moulding each sculpture in this way creates the distinctive texture of the work. Rooted in drawing, the work carries instinctive gestures from start to finish to suggest an action or feeling.

Selected exhibitions include Off Grid, Mark Tanner Sculpture Award Exhibition, Standpoint Gallery, London and touring (2020-2021); Gleaners: Olivia Bax & Hannah Hughes, Sid Motion Gallery, London (2020/21); Chute, Ribot Gallery, Milan (2019/20); Roost, Lily Brooke Gallery, London (2018); Adieu to Old England, The Kids are Alright, Choi & Lager, Cologne (2019/20); at large, VO Curations, London (2018); Harder Edge, Saatchi Gallery, London (2019); Olivia Bax | Milly Peck | Rafal Zajko, Three Works, Scarborough (2018); and A Motley Crew, Larsen Warner Gallery, Stockholm (2017).

Prizes include The Mark Tanner Sculpture Award (2019/20); Kenneth Armitage Young Sculptor Prize (2016); and Additional Award, Exeter Contemporary Open, Exeter Phoenix (2017).

Auction close and bidder extension

The auction closes at 9pm, Mon 5th July. However, if a bid is placed in the last two minutes, the auction end time will extend on that lot for an additional two minutes, or until all bidding has ceased. This is called Popcorn Bidding or Bidder Extension and gives all bidders an equal chance of winning.

£50 increments for bids of £300 – £1,000

£100 increments for bids of £1,000 – £2,000

£250 increments for bids of £2,000 – £5,000

Maximum bids

You are more likely to be the winning bidder if at the outset you place a maximum bid i.e. the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the work. Your maximum bid is not visible to other bidders. If another bidder exceeds your maximum bid you will receive an automatic notification. If you have placed a maximum bid the auction site will automatically place bids on your behalf, but only as much is necessary to make sure that you remain the highest bidder, until it reaches your maximum bid. These automatic bids are placed in increments, as shown above.
