Cliik Community is delighted to be kicking off the new year at The Talk Shop with an exhibition by local artist and illustrator Olive Li.

Please join us at the Talk Shop on Tuesday 21/01 from 6-8pm for the opening event!

This exhibition invites viewers to take a moment of rest from the rush of daily life and reconnect with the beauty that surrounds us. Through a blend of commissions and personal work, the artworks explore the connections between humans and nature, as well as the bonds we share with each other.

Each piece aims to evoke a sense of calm and mindfulness, encouraging the audience to take a break, breathe, and reflect on the simple yet profound moments of joy in their lives. The exhibition serves as a gentle reminder of the harmony between humanity and the natural world, and the significance of cherishing the connections that ground us in our ever-busy routines.

Oliver Li is an illustrator with a passion for storytelling through vibrant and emotive visuals.

Drawing inspiration from nature, human connections, and everyday life, his work combines a sense of warmth with thoughtful, fuzzy details. Specializing in both commercial and personal works, his illustrations often celebrate themes of sustainability, mindfulness, joyfulness and the beauty of the natural world.

This exhibition reflects his artistic journey and his desire to inspire others to find moments of peace and connection in their own lives.

The exhibition can be viewed during the week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 12.00 pm - 4 pm
