Javon Bennett (b.1989) lives and works in Oslo as artist and baker to create deliciously edible installations. Playfully exploring ingredients and their bounds, stretching and extracting essences, textures and colours while applicating with a somewhat painterly eye and approach. His creations attempt to recollect dwindling memories of past generational tastes and serve to hold a purposeful presence: to be convivially shared and gorged; to bring fleeting bliss with fantastical beauty. All the way down.
Javon’s work has been shown and shared at Billedhoggerforening, Interkulturet Museum, Spriten Kunsthall, Nitja senter for samtidskunst, Unge Kunstneres Samfund (UKS), Tenthaus, PACHINKO, in Romsås senter with Øst Kunst and currently with Fotogalleriet, Oslo, Norway.
