Biography
Olly and Suzi originally began working together after meeting as students as the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in 1987, and graduated together with a joint degree. Their collaborative mode of working became established during a scholarship to Syracuse University in New York State during the period 1988 to 1989. Since 1993, they have taken part in more than 50 expeditions to remote regions of the Earth to paint predators and prey at close proximity in their natural habitats. In some works they solicit "assistance" from the subject in the form of pawprints or bite-marks. Their joint work has been exhibited internationally in galleries including the Simon Dickinson and Briggs Robinson galleries in New York, and the Natural History Museum in London.
Suzi Winstanley currently lives with Blur and Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn with whom she has a daughter, Missy.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“There never was a good biography of a good novelist. There couldn’t be. He is too many people, if he’s any good.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.”
—Rebecca West [Cicily Isabel Fairfield] (1892–1983)
