Author Description

This exhibition catalogue presents the latest works of the internationally renowned Norwegian artist Olav Christopher Jenssen. The exhibition shows approximately 40 works including paintings, drawings and sculptures. Olav Christopher Jenssen has made his name with an original rethinking of abstract painting. Stylistically he has moved from a renewed vigilance on abstract expressionism in the 1980s to a more distinct expression in today's paintings. Published alongside exhibitions at Kunsthallen Brandts, Odense, Denmark (June - September 2009); Sorlandets Kunstmuseum, Kristiansand, Norway (September - November 2009); and KIASMA, Helsinki, Finland (January - March 2010).
