Publisher's Synopsis
Olav Christopher Jenssen's aesthetic constantly astounds with exhilaratingly fresh abstractions, the most delicate web-like lines and intense swathes of colour. Like a broad river that is fed by individual streams, Jenssen's oeuvre emerges as if from a constantly branching chain of variations on painting, which links imagination and memory, vitality and art. 'Enigma' presents more than 60 mainly large-scale works produced between 1985 and 2012, providing a vibrant cross-section through almost all of Jenssen's paintings, drawings and sculptures.
