Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Oliver Whitehead (b. 1947) is a versatile artist who moved from England to Finland in 1971. He works across a wide range of mediums, including painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, sculpture, moving images, and spoken word. His practice is shaped by a critical contemporary perspective, while still leaving room for viewers to form their own interpretations of the world and its state. Whitehead's work often revisits themes such as the fetishistic nature of consumer culture, the observation of urban spaces, journal-like reflections on daily life, and the theme of peace, which he has explored through chalk drawings in public spaces. This book offers an insight into the artist's long career and the recurring themes in his work. Text in English, Swedish and Finnish. 175 pp.…
