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.
