Dipped Paintings: Oliver Jeffers

Artist Talk: October 4 from 2 to 3pm, with Sharon Matt Atkins, Deputy Director for Art at Brooklyn Museum SOLD OUT

This is the North American presentation of Dipped Paintings by Oliver Jeffers, the first focused exhibition of his Dipped Painting series that began in 2012. This marks the beginning of a two-year winddown, as the artist will conclude the series in his upcoming solo exhibition at the Ulster Museum in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 2027. Only a handful of new paintings – and their related dip performances – will be made over the next two years, with one debuting at the Boston exhibition. A small group present for a private dip performance will see the portrait in its originally painted entirety. By the time the exhibition opens to the public, the only documentation of the complete and uninterrupted portrait will be in the memories of those present as it was dipped. Read more about the exhibition in the press release below.
