Ever-Changing Compositions – UNFOILED Series by Studio Rens
The complexities of glass have always inspired me. Especially the transparent layers and the way in which light refracts. There’s a real depth that can be fabricated using such a simple material. The problem is, most of these properties are almost unique to glass itself and it’s rare to
New at OEN Shop – Bold Geometric Prints by Formworks Studio
We just wanted to share a quick update to our range of framed prints by talented British designer Jon Llewelyn who founded his project Formworks Studio in 2016.

Light and Form – Prints by Julian Abrams & Sophie Elizabeth-Thompson

Radiating Colour – Paper Prints by American Artist Michael Delucia

Delving into Abstract Shapes – Paintings & Prints by Joanne Freeman
There is something quite remarkable about brightly coloured abstract shapes against stark white backgrounds. This is the main characteristic of Joanne Freeman’s work and how her paintings come to life. Freeman, who obtained her Master’s degree in Fine arts from the New York University, first
The Craft of Abstraction – Unique Silkscreen Prints by Jonathan Lawes
If you mention Silkscreen printing most people tend to have a commercial image in their mind. Usually it’s referenced only as a technique that’s being used for garment printing or mass production when it fact there are plenty of creative opportunities out there using this specific medium
