ON VIEW: Olivia England

gallery rosenfeld is pleased to present selected works by Olivia England ON VIEW, as part of our ongoing commitment to showcasing voices beyond our represented roster.

Born in London in 1999, England is a multidisciplinary artist whose sculptural practice explores materiality as a vessel for memory, identity, and the lived histories of objects. Often working with wood, metal, and found materials, she merges traditionally industrial processes with domestic, gendered symbolism—conflating the public and the private, the structural and the intimate.

England holds an MA in Visual Communication from the Royal College of Art and a BA in Fine Art from Manchester School of Art. Her recent solo and group presentations include Heartlands (Flexitron Gallery, London), Shrine For the Unworthy (Hockney Gallery, London), and Breaking Bread (Rag Gallery/British Art Show, Manchester). She is also an active curator, with projects at Filet Space, Unit 1 Gallery, and Manchester Art Gallery.

The three works on view span both new and archival pieces, reflecting her ongoing engagement with how craft, care, and memory are embedded in the surfaces of things. Through her layered material vocabulary, England gestures to the quiet, accumulative weight of domestic life—its textures, repetitions, and residues.

This ON VIEW runs concurrently with the gallery’s main exhibition ‘Not a House but a Memory’.
