Le travail d’Olivier Jonvaux explore la vie des objets, de leur création à leur destruction, par l’emploi d’une multiplicité de médiums. L’utilisation d’argile, ciment, papier, pâte à modeler, se complète d’une dimension immatérielle par le biais de la modélisation 3D. Dans ses installations, sculptures, et vidéos d’animations, il détourne les caractéristiques des objets, pour mieux les extraire de leur attribution ou de leur origine.
La réitération de formes banales, prélevées de son quotidien, se joue du statut de l’œuvre par une indétermination recherchée. Qu’il soit réel ou virtuel, l’artiste bouscule notre relation au monde par une réflexion sur sa fétichisation, sa stabilité supposée et à ses modes de circulation.

(b. 1986, FR) is a Brussels based artist. He uses existing forms which he borrow, alters, and brings further. Elements in his work can be understood by themselves or as a whole; a coherent and solid set of objects that can be interchangeable. Starting points for abstract sculptures come from elements of architecture, daily life, modulations, serial variations, units of measure and of report. The forms in his work are extracted from their context in order to ap- propriate and multiply them to obtain new rational forms.
