Lovie Olivia





“Beauty, body, archeology, history, and intersectionality are recurring themes of my ongoing multidisciplinary practice.  My paintings, prints, and installations reflect my interests in complex identities, cultural anthropology and social exchange through unusual methodologies.  I employ a personally modified process of fresco (including digital fresco) that  experiments with abstraction and incorporates my  visual language as ways of exploring themes of race, gender, power, sexuality and the different value systems attached to them.


By manipulating layers of information including secco-fresco paintings and objects in concert with pigmented overlays, marks and monotypes that merge the worlds of painting, printmaking and sculpture. These multi-dimensional works embody stratums of data and scores through a seductive queer-ing of materials and assemblage. This marriage of archaic and modern materiality are used to honor the zeal of painting, celebrate the decorative and domestic and utilize the art of excavation while carefully exploring human histories, specifically the histories of  queer women of color.”



Lovie Olivia is a multidisciplinary artist based in Houston, Texas.
