OLIVER CAIN

BIO

Oliver Cain is an English born/New Zealand Artist. At first glance his crafted objects, sculptures, and installations are amusing and whimsical, but peeling back the skin we find a pulp ripe with narratives. His work bears a certain physicality and pushes the boundaries between conceptualism and post-pop art. As a proud member of the queer community, much of his work speaks of sexuality, identity, gender, and queer storytelling. However, despite what it might look like to the contemporary spectator, a purely erotic and queer reading of the work would be misguided. There is a universal profundity at play revealing itself slowly for those willing to look and feel.
