Olivia Van Kuiken Biography

Olivia van Kuiken’s paintings and drawings dramatise the invigorating, yet attenuating, exchanges between thought, material and image. Her work sutures referential material within expressively fashioned fields, in turn invoking abstraction’s supplication to language and other semiotic systems.

Olivia van Kuiken lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Recent solo exhibitions include Make me Mulch!, Chapter, New York and She clock, me clock, we clock, Kings Leap, New York. Select group exhibitions include Derosia, New York; Amanita, New York; As it Stands, Los Angeles; Château Shatto, Los Angeles; Chapter, New York; Shoot the Lobster, New York and Hoffmann Maller Wallenberg, Nice. van Kuiken’s work has been featured in Bomb, Cultured, émergent and KALEIDOSCOPE.
