Olivia Fones

Olivia is a Singapore-based artist graduating with a BA(Hons) Fine Arts from LASALLE College of the Arts.

A previous graduate from the International Baccalaureate programme at School of the Arts Singapore, she leans into her absurdist tendencies to protest against cultural norms, refusing to appeal to current notions of success. Instead, she favours fun, nonsensical and liberating personal experiences, replicating them in her art with the aid of kitsch and childish aesthetics. Specialising in drawing, she currently experiments with textiles alongside thought drawings. Olivia aims to combat and question the desire to conform and be taken seriously, hoping to celebrate individuality and self-sufficiency.

Olivia was commissioned by Artbox SG to create artwork for Singapore Turf Club and Mandai Reserves for the 2019 Passionarts Festival. She was also a Top 10 Finalist for the Vans Custom Culture Asia-Pacific competition. Currently, she runs NARRENKULT, a handmade fashion brand.
