In New York based mixed-media artist makes works exploring themes of fantasy and desire. Many of his pieces invite the viewer into a meditative state like the blurred, brightly colored, concentric rings of his target-shaped paintings; or his strictly black and white landscapes of gnarled trees that seem to bristle with questionable energy. His large rainbow signs are just as enigmatically alluring with their imperative affirmations of “Hell, Yes!” or “Our Magic Hour.” These signs seem to point to some hidden aspect of our reality and history. One sign, “Dog Days Are Over,” proclaims an end to a period of turmoil, but what that period is remains unclear. The signs encapsulate and make palpable an unnamed collective desire, and, in turn, may inspire a new one, e.g. this voyeuristic piece ‘Nothing but the night’.

OLIVIER MOSSET, Sixteen Cardboard Toblerones, 2010

OLIVIER MOSSET, Sixteen Cardboard Toblerones, 2010

30 x 40 cm
HC, 16 pages printed with a die-cut model on each page, numbered, signed
edition 125 + 30 A.P.
published by Three Star Book, Paris, France          € 240,-  December 2010

In this book, the spectator can complete the work, or not. While the «Toblerone» sculptures are references to the Swiss national repast, and to the military bunkers that dot the Swiss landscape, their very repetion reveals their most interesting facet: context and origine. In a smooth act of near industrializing a sculptural process, Mosset has placed Toblerones in a long line of austere and culturally important places, as well as executing them in various media, from ice to steel. The book version is executed in one grey color picked by Mosset, and constitutes a form no less significant in the artist’s repertoire.

John Baldessari uses photomontage and painting, combined with language. His deadpan visual juxtapositions equate images with words and illuminate or challenge meaning. He shakes up held expectations of how images function, often by drawing the viewer’s attention to minor details, absences, or the spaces between things and human beings. Obscuring apparently clear scenes or adding stock photography with phrases by placing colourful dots e.g. over faces, he injects humour and dissonance into scattered imagery.
