{"title":"Olivia Sterling","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn in Peterborough in 1996 and graduating from the RCA in 2020, Sterling has carved out a distinctive niche in using paint to address questions of blackness and whiteness in twenty-first century Britain. Her paintings present scenes of colourful mayhem with a nostalgic twist and signature ‘slapstick’ style, combining joyous celebration with a subtle critique of racialised ways of seeing.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBlending pointed references like this into her depiction of ordinary scenes and subjects, Sterling’s work reflects on how we are confronted by racialised discourse everywhere in the everyday. Even happy or anodyne spaces are encoded with structures of othering and difference; every object, every skin tone, is assigned its place in a drama that continues beyond the edges of the canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"olivia-sterling-if-it-comforts-you-then-do-so-1","title":"Olivia Sterling - If It Comforts You, Then Do So #1","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn her paintings, Olivia Sterling presents the viewer with scenes of daily life that subtly critique attitudes towards race, class, gender, and social status.
