Olivier Jonvaux

Born 1986.

Olivier Jonvaux is a French artist and graduate of ENSBA Lyon and Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains in Tourcoing, France. He follows the lives of ordinary objects, from making to decay, across sculpture, drawing, 3D imaging and film, and displaces them to unsettle what counts as an artwork.

He has shown at Palais de Tokyo in Paris, LaM in Villeneuve-d’Ascq and CEAAC in Strasbourg in France and Basis Frankfurt in Germany. He was awarded the ADAGP Research Grant (2023), Ateliers Médicis, Création en cours (2025), DRAC Île-de-France Grant (2016 and 2022) and Prix des Ateliers d’Art, Grand Palais (2020) among others.
