Arizona Illustrated

Olivier Mosset – A Retrospective: The Swiss-born artist Olivier Mosset has exhibited work in some of the most prestigious museums and galleries in the world but he lives a quiet life in Tucson, Arizona. His solo exhibition at the Tucson Museum of Art presents new large-scale monochrome paintings along with important works from his career, personal objects and an ephemeral ice sculpture. His work challenges notions of authorship and definitions of art and leaves the viewer to decide what to make of it.

They also explore the mental health benefits they have experienced and witnessed over their careers by continually facing the most visceral of fears - falling.
