Ove’s doily paintings are made from vintage European lace doilies as well as custom ones that have been made by Syrian refugees. The paintings, with their vibrant circular layers and patterns evoke the spirit and energy of the Trinidadian carnival whilst using a medium that is personally nostalgic – these items filled the homes of Trinidadian communities when the artist was growing up. To date he has only made three “round” shapes one of which is in the collection of 21C Museum Hotels in the US.
