Grip Face
Grip Face（David Oliver，1989 年生於西班牙帕爾馬）以繪畫為核心，延伸至雕塑、裝置與紙上作品，建構一種在數位介面與身體感知之間游移的視覺語言。他的畫面常以多層次的筆觸與覆寫結構並置扁平化的色塊、像素化線條與精密手工描繪，將「過度資訊」世代的焦慮、欲望與自我呈現，轉化為甜美而矛盾、幽默卻不安的當代寓言。面具、鏡像、髮絲與服飾等反覆出現的符號，既是遮蔽與保護，也是身份在公共與私密之間反覆切換的痕跡。
其個展包括：Fundació Miró Mallorca（2025）、Parco Museum（東京，2025）、La Bibi Gallery（帕爾馬，2024）、Gana Gallery（首爾，2024）、La Bibi Gallery × Colección SOLO（巴黎，2023）、Cerquone Gallery（馬德里，2020）、SC Gallery（畢爾包，2021；2016）等。作品亦於 Espacio SOLO Museum（馬德里）、YIRI ARTS（台北）等展出，並參與 Art Taipei、KIAF、Zona Maco、Volta Basel、ARCO 等藝術博覽會。獲獎包含 Neo2 Awards 藝術類首獎（2024）等；作品典藏於 Colección SOLO Museum、M.E.R. Foundation、Fundación Santillana、Colección Meliá 等。
Grip Face (David Oliver, b. 1989, Palma, Spain) works across painting, sculpture, and installation, articulating a visual syntax that shifts between digital interfaces and tactile, studio-made precision. His compositions operate through layered edits—flat fills, pixel-like marks, and meticulously rendered passages—evoking the speed of screen culture while insisting on the slower intelligence of the hand. Recurring motifs such as masking, mirroring, hair, and costume function as both shield and signal: devices through which identity, intimacy, and exposure are negotiated in a world shaped by technological massification and mediated relations.
