Jason Oliva [Sculpture]: ‘Lion’ 2011 by Jason Oliva
November 23, 2011
‘Lion’ Jason Oliva 2011
For a number of years I had thought about how I might be able to create a two-dimensional sculpture based upon one of my sold works on canvas.
In 2010 I completed the painting ‘Lion’..
…and this image in particular seemed to lend itself to a sculpture of this kind. It was around this time that a sculptor named Chris happened to wander into New York Vintners purely by chance: he had been unsure whether NYV was a wine shop or an art gallery so his curiosity got the better of him and in he came. Chris and I got to talking about my needs for an art fabricator and he suggested I meet with a highly respected and skilled fabricator named Karen Atta.
To cut a long story short,
I went and met with Karen at her studio in Chelsea whereATTAINC has been in operation since 1986 and together we began work on my first resin cast sculpture, ‘Lion’.‘Lion’ stands at 13″ tall, 16″ long and 4″ wide at the base. It is cast in resin and weighs approximately 7 lbs. So as to remain true to the original painting, ‘Lion’ uses the same line work and the resin was colored to match, in order to capture the character and vibrancy of the work on canvas.

Cheers!

[Stripey Horse] 2008 vintage from Jason Oliva [Wine] being bottled today.
September 23, 2011
Here is the bottle that I chose for [Stripey Horse]
A very exciting day today. I have chosen the bottle that will be used for [Stripey Horse] 2008 (250 signed and numbered bottles) I think its cool…not too heavy, not too light and also an eco-friendly/’Green” A great form all around to serve as the vessel for the amazing wine Dirk has created for me. Bottling will also start today and then bottled samples are sent off to all the governing body for this sort of thing. Its a tremendous amount of red tape.
Here is a picture of Dirk Roos below who will be hosting an amazing dinner at New York Vintners on October 11th…who knows there maybe a guest appearance from a single tasting bottle of [Stripey Horse] at some point..no promises though..ha ha
you can click on the image below for more details and ticket prices. I will be in attendance for sure.
I will be posting a lot of wine related things as the run up to the [Stripey Horses] arrival (late October). It is all very exciting for me to be so close to such a long term accomplishment and I would like to thank everyone involved and especially all the people who have been supporting the project by purchasing the wine. There is so much excitement and I am really happy that everyone is enjoying it all so much.
As always if anyone is interested in more information about [Stripey Horse] 2008, Jason Oliva [Wine] or how to obtain one of the limited edition bottles feel free to email me:

Two Houses
Jason Oliva(1970- )
2003 approx
Doctors office, NY. NY.
Been out of the studio recovering from strep throat. Stopped in to see my doctor on Monday and also had a visit with a painting he purchased about seven or eight years ago from one of my shows at John Allans. Its always a blast seeing it hanging in the waiting room. The painting ‘Two Houses’ was always a post it note to myself – to remind me not to chase material things. Someone will always have a bigger house on a bigger hill casting shadows.
as always thanks for looking,
Cheers

Hello Everyone!
I am really pleased to finally release these out to everyone. For years people have been requesting ‘Prints’ of some of my more popular sold paintings and I always resisted. I always felt that a mechanical reproduction was not up to snuff. I have had a lot of success with the monopoly print which I made almost 11 years ago but now years later as it sold out the price has rose to almost match the price of an original painting. I really wanted to make some of these images available to everyone at a better price point but keep the quality and the exclusivity as high as ever…. So after my fateful meeting with James Rosenquist I learned about Arches paper…its amazing stuff and the paint takes to it beautifully and that was it I was off to the races. Instead of mechanically producing re-imagined imagery from the sold painting I decided I was going to paint each and everyone of them (a lot of work for sure, but I enjoy every long hour of it) I can also roll them up for shipping worldwide or offer a great black wooden frame under raised glass. The first 10 Buddhas are $475 unframed and the first 5 Eiffel Towers are also $475 nframed as they sell and there are fewer available the price will be raised. I will also be displaying these framed and for sale at New York Vintners where I keep my gallery/studio (21 Warren st. NY NY) In just a short time I have shipped these works on paper to two different countries and two different states! all happening so quickly …all very exciting!
Thanks for looking and thanks for sharing!
