Simon Olley

Simon is fascinated by the relationship that develops between man and man’s best friend. His work combines illustration and sgraffito to depict and celebrate the exciting (sometimes imaginary) life of his own Labrador Retriever.

“The pose of the dogs are matched to the piece, illustrated and carved by hand. Never tracing or using stencils or decals or anything like that. I have nothing against other methods, I just like to paint/scratch quickly and freely with as little as possible to slow me down or get between my brushes and tools and the damp clay.” – Simon Olley
