where graphic art meets hyper-realism
o&a collective
o&a collective
Arkley Fine Art are thrilled to introduce O&A Collective, founded by Jonny Fyvie and Zoë Moss.
This collaboration plays with the stark juxtaposition of two distinct styles. The core of their practice is the tension between simulation and reality. Jonny constructs the manufactured facade, two dimensional acrylic which is heavily rooted in graphic and urban aesthetics. Zoë shatters them, using master level hyper realistic oils. She tears geometric windows into the pristine surface, which reveals the raw human trapped beneath.
The Fractured Menagerie is their debut original series, which serves a direct critique of modern identity and the 'curated self'. Within these portraits, the animals represent the rawness of the human condition, activiley facturing the flawless masks we project to the world.
Following a sold out collection with New York's prestigious Krause Gallery, The O&A Collective continues to explore the profound psychological weight of the masks we wear, and the realities we suppress.
At Arkley Fine Art, we are thrilled to share a fresh and unique new series from artists Jonny Fyvie and Zoë Moss.
BIOGRAPHY
O&A COLLECTIVE
Founded by artists Jonny Fyvie and Zoë Moss, O&A Collective brings together two distinctly different approaches to contemporary art. Jonny's bold, graphic acrylic forms create the polished surface, while Zoë's hyper-realistic oil painting breaks through it, revealing something more raw beneath.
Their debut series, The Fractured Menagerie, explores the tension between simulation and reality and the identities we construct and present to the world. The result is a striking collection of original works where graphic art and photorealism collide.
biography
jonny fyvie
Jonny Fyvie is a UK-based contemporary artist whose practice explores the intersection of pop culture, nostalgia, and modern consumption. Working from his studio in the Surrey Hills, Fyvie deconstructs the icons of youth, ranging from classic animation to gaming culture and rebuilds them with a sharp, satirical edge.
His signature aesthetic often utilizes vintage currency and mixed media to challenge viewers to see past the manufactured facade and engage with commentary on fame, wealth, and the passage of time.
Fyvie’s work is held in private collections globally, and he has executed commissions for major global brands including Toyota and Mandarin Oriental Hotels. His solo practice is currently represented by Mr Bragshaw's Gallery in Leeds.

Kohaku is an original contemporary artwork from The Fractured Menagerie, the debut series by the O&A Collective, the collaborative practice of artists Jonny Fyvie and Zoë Moss.
The series explores the tension between the polished identities we present to the world and the more unpredictable realities beneath them.
Words from the artists: "A koi fish glides silently beneath a tranquil surface, a current of life hidden just out of sight. Kohaku explores the profound disconnect between a frozen exterior and the fluid, chaotic currents of the human mind. The avatar projects absolute, icy detachment, but the shattered geometry reveals the heavy, silent realities swimming just beneath the surface."

Monarch is an original contemporary artwork from The Fractured Menagerie, the debut series by the O&A Collective, the collaborative practice of artists Jonny Fyvie and Zoë Moss.
The series explores the tension between the polished identities we present to the world and the more unpredictable realities beneath them.
Words from the artists: "A butterfly represents effortless, delicate beauty. An aesthetic moment on a curated feed. But when a carefully curated facade is confronted by raw reality, the system glitches. The moment the Monarch enters her orbit, the illusion breaks, proving that no matter how heavy the digital filter, human truth will always bleed through."

Otter is an original contemporary artwork from The Fractured Menagerie, the debut series by the O&A Collective, the collaborative practice of artists Jonny Fyvie and Zoë Moss.
The series explores the tension between the polished identities we present to the world and the more unpredictable realities beneath them.
Words from the artists: "Otter explores the exhausting tension of trying to hold chaos together while pretending everything is perfect. The animal is wild,wet, and unpredictable, a visceral counterweight to the pristine digital mask designed for the outside world. It exposes the sheer, desperate effort required to make a messy life look flawlessly curated."

Goldfinch is an original contemporary artwork from The Fractured Menagerie, the debut series by the O&A Collective, the collaborative practice of artists Jonny Fyvie and Zoë Moss.
The series explores the tension between the polished identities we present to the world and the more unpredictable realities beneath them.
Words from the artists: "As the foundational piece of the series, Goldfinch explores the sheer exhaustion of projecting absolute perfection. The bird represents a silent, persistent weight, an imperceptible burden. The painting forces a fracture, exposing the raw, vulnerable human effort required to hold a heavy reality, however the light winged visitor may seem."

Mimic is an original contemporary artwork from The Fractured Menagerie, the debut series by the O&A Collective, the collaborative practice of artists Jonny Fyvie and Zoë Moss.
The series explores the tension between the polished identities we present to the world and the more unpredictable realities beneath them.
Words from the artists: "Mimic explores the suffocating complexity of maintaining a flawless public identity under intense psychological pressure. The octopus, a master of camouflage and deep- water survival, acts as a visceral manifestation of the chaotic subconscious realities we desperately suppress.
As its tentacles bind the subject in a literal chokehold, they force a sharp geometric fracture down the center of the composition. Jonny’s flat, immaculate acrylic avatar is split open, allowing Zoë’s hyper-realistic oil rendering to expose the raw, defensive human truth trapped within the digital simulation."
