Jeremy Olson is a Brooklyn-based artist working primarily in painting, with excursions into sculpture and video. His practice builds narrative worlds that test how people recognize presence—especially when relationships begin to blur human and synthetic roles.
Across his work, Olson constructs figures with a distinctly human-like intensity, then stages them in systems of care, labor, and exchange. In Plague Antenna: Prologue, the story’s characters and objects—tools, companions, and everyday routines—function like props in an extended imagined reality, where technology presses directly into perception, attachment, and memory.
He has shown internationally and received a 2021 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship in Painting. Olson holds a BFA from the University of Arizona and an MFA from NYU Steinhardt, and has completed artist-in-residence programs including Praksis Oslo, Atlantic Center for the Arts, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Oxbow, and the SVA Summer Residency.
