Chateau Joffe presents a series of
paintings about economics: offices, Chinese and US factories, slaves, labour,
bankers, mortgages and derivatives. All the work originates from the world image
bank of Flickr. Joffe constructs a visual vocabulary of the abstract terms which
are used in discussing the economy. An email discussion between artists,
collectors, and economists will be published to mark the opening of
¡°Economics¡±.
Chateau
Joffe, located off Bishopsgate, is on the border between the City of London and
Shoreditch, thus straddling the worlds of finance and art.
About Jasper
Joffe
Joffe, born 1975, studied at The
Royal College where he was taught by Peter Doig and Rose Finn©\Kelcey. He has a reputation for his
alternative art performances, extravagant initiatives and controversial
paintings. Jasper Joffe came to media attention with his performance at the
Chisenhale gallery ¡¯24 paintings in 24 hours¡¯ in 1999, in which he questioned
the relation between time and value. He founded the wildly popular Free Art Fair
in 2007, which took place during Frieze week and he sensationally sold a
candy©\coloured portrait of the Nazi
Heinrich Himmler to Charles Saatchi in 2008. In 2009 he sold all his possessions
at the Idea Generation Gallery in London. In 2010 he exhibited 21 Great British
Jews of the 21st Century in a synagogue in Kaunas
Lithuania.
His most recent show was ¡°Power &
Beauty¡± at Kenny Schachter Rove Gallery. He
has collaborated with artist Harry Pye
on projects such as The Tate Modern in a dry cleaner, their own handmade
99p shop, and ¡®Joffe et Pye¡¯ last summer¡¯s show at Chateau Joffe. Ekow Eshun on Radio 4 said of the show:
¡®Intense feelings about love, loneliness and fear, anxiety desire and hope and
ambition all come into play into these paintings. Very powerful I thought. What
could have been fey, arch or game playing was actually very
warm.¡±
¡°There¡¯s no artist on earth other
than Jasper Joffe who would have painted Himmler this way, using these brush
strokes and candy colours¡±. Charles Saatchi, Sunday Times
