Statement
Jacco Olivier fuses painting and filmmaking by repeatedly reworking paintings in generous casual brush strokes and systematically photographing each development. The various stages are combined into projected animations. The resulting films are enigmatic and experiential - moving in and out of abstraction they reveal the traces and decisions made by the artist in the process of painting. While there is a clear and quite complex process involved in their creation, Olivier does not set a thematic agenda for the works, or for their relationship to one another. The films are instead imagined as windows onto converging, and often elegantly simple, moments of daily life - a bus journey, a swim in the ocean, or a walk through the woods. At this convergence of painting and cinema, however, lies an uneasy tension, a feeling that something is about to happen or has just happened that is unexpected and beyond our control.
Jacco Olivier is a graduate of the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Amsterdam, and also studied at the Hogeschool voor Kunst en Vormgeving, Den Bosch. He has exhibited worldwide, notably at ZKM, Karlsruhe; Sammlung Goetz, Munich; Victoria Miro Gallery, London, Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York, Dordrechts Museum, Dordrecht; MCA Denver, Colorado; The 56th Venice Biennial, Venice; Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem; New York City Center/New Museum, New York, and GEM, The Hague. His art is held in many public collections, including Honart Museum, Tehran; The Zabludowicz Collection, London; and the Rubell Family Collection, Miami, amongst others. Last summer he was awarded the Jeanne Oosting Prize.
