Show runs until May 31\nHAZMAT by Stephen Olivier\nOlivier’s current body of work includes paintings and sculptural work, that emerge from the collision of biography and belief – a reckoning with the self, built from Catholic guilt, queer identity, and a lifelong quest to resolve the unfinished career of his father.\nAbout the artist\nStephen Olivier is an award winning artist whose work has been exhibited widely in galleries, museums, and artist-run spaces across the United States and internationally. Olivier was awarded a 2025 residency at NES in Skagaströnd, Iceland. His work has appeared in numerous group exhibitions, including Let the Fur and Feathers Fly at Epperson Gallery in California, the Texas National Competition at the Cole Art Center in Texas, Big Bold Pride at the Art Society of Kingston, and Truth Unveiled at Art League Rhode Island. Additional exhibitions include the Woodstock Artists Association & Museum, Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, KIPNZ in Walton, NY, and venues throughout New York, Atlanta, Miami, and Berlin. Olivier’s solo exhibitions include Over the Garden Wall at Subdivision Art in Long Island City, and Beforemath at the Octopus Building in Miami.\nOlivier’s sculptural work has also appeared in film, including creating thirty resin sculptures for Shelton Walsmith’s short film The Importance of Being Amber.
