Jasmine Crisp

Jasmine Crisp is a Painter and Muralist born and based in Adelaide, South Australia. Her characteristic practice features local figures, spaces and belongings from her lived experience that are combined to create playful genre paintings of the imagined familiar.

Crisps often maximalist scenes are built upon personal narratives of both artist and sitter. Her visual tales are crafted in reference to past traditions of portraiture, often directly adopting symbolism from notable paintings of history. Long established symbols are inserted into domestic, or nostalgic versions of the present to form reimagined landscapes of the felt human experience.

Jasmine Crisp completed a Bachelor Of Visuals Arts (honours) at Adelaide Central School in 2017 and has since been granted the 12 month Carclew (2018) and Praxis (2019) artist in residence programs in SA as well as multiple international artist residencies across Iceland (SíM, NES) and Finland (Koli Ryynanen). Crisp's works are exhibited interstate and internationally, with paintings included in the Artbank collection, awarded first prizes in the CCH Art Prize, Prospect Portrait Prize and YouthScape Art Prize, and as people's choice winner or finalist in the Ravenswood Art Prize, SALA Advertiser awards, Emma Hack Art Prize and Kennedy Art Prize. Crisp has created semi/permanent large scale murals for festivals across Port Adelaide, Brisbane, Geelong and The Art Gallery of South Australia.
