At first glance, the body of work by Olivia Pendergast currently on display at the One Off Art Gallery feels almost like a quiet echo of Renaissance painting.

Walking through the exhibition is like stepping into an antique winery whose cellars are lined with ageless, priceless bottles of Pinot Noir and Bordeaux. The experience of witnessing them — their presence, their history — feels more profound than the act of tasting itself.
