Studio Visit: Oliver Cain

In the work of Tāmaki Makaurau-based artist Oliver Cain there is a universal profundity at play. His latest series references the human figure and gently probes at confronting and challenging issues surrounding sexuality, gender and identity.

“My studio is in my garage. It has all my tools and my kiln for making ceramic works. I share the space with my father who loves making furniture, so we are always able to bounce ideas off each other and solve problems together.”
