James Oliver
Challenger

2013

About the Item

"Challenger" is an original painting on canvas by James Oliver measuring 40in x 60in. James Oliver is a painter whose precise visual language pushes the tradition of twentieth century abstraction into a contemporary context. Oliver is a conceptually driven formalist whose work is inspired by his dreams and emotional states, which he abstracts into an undetermined and subjective viewing experience by emphasizing line, color, and form. Even as Oliver turns to a figurative practice in recent series, rendering cultural icons like chopper bikes, Pontiac Firebirds, and his childhood poodle in detailed line drawings, these representations similarly evoke broadly accessible affects abstracted from his mental landscape. Born in Upstate New York, raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, son of an advertising executive, Oliver was exposed from a young age to visual art from its most commercial applications to more visceral exponential lives. "The Challenger is a classic muscle car. Knowing that I have been working on a series of muscle car paintings, it comes back to the design and energy of such a powerful classic American vehicle." -James Oliver
