Oliver Place
Long Time II, 2024
Monoprint on 135 gsm paper
29.7 x 21 cm
Oliver Place is a contemporary artist based in Hastings, England, whose practice centres on drawing and printmaking, particularly monoprint, using recurring visual motifs to explore impermanence, memory, and the fragile nature of built environments. Place’s work often reflects a thoughtful engagement with everyday structures and objects, reframing them as symbols of transience and quiet decay.
Long Time II features a monoprint of a crumbling house, a recurring theme in his practice, where the phrase “Here for a long time, not for a good time” humorously contrasts with the image to underscore the idea that the homes we inhabit and the possessions we value are ultimately fleeting and will not endure.
