Olivier Mosset

2019

With «CBB», Olivier Mosset invites J.Hopenstand to follow him in his considerations on changing colour. Mosset is known for his monochromes and his search for a self-referent paint. Through this partnership, the artist presents a buckle with iridescent colours and fleeting reflections. The piece of art comes to live through the moving eye of the spectator. Olivier Mosset highlights the range of colours that the eye can see through his reference to Harley Davidson, its bikers, codes and aesthetics. There are four different buckles, all made with an industrial coating known as the chameleon lacquer. There are different shades to the colours as they change depending on the light and reflections, from green to pink, and from pink to golden. There, the monochrome meets its own limits as this metallic painting reveals the facing pigments, the iridescent colours and light, resembling a beetle or a chameleon.

Artist portrait

Olivier Mosset was born in 1944 in Bern, Switzerland and lives in Tuscon, Arizona. He has always worked around the problematics of signature, appropriation and repetition. His productions reject all search for meaning, such as his multifaceted monochromes or his abstract geometrical pieces. He started his career around 1965 as Jean Tinguely's and Daniel Spoerri's assistant. In 1966, with Daniel Buren, Michel Parmentier and Niele Toroni, he founded the artists group BMPT.
