About The Artwork
Powerful design, intricate artifact and impeccable construction make Olson’s’ artwork unique. His award winning career as a contemporary architect helps to explain his remarkable aesthetic. His work, made of a proprietary mix of marble dust, plaster, wood, paint and wax has a deliberate weightiness to it. In a world of digital imagery and virtual reality, Olson is striving to create significant objects. His lengthy process of sanding and scoring to reveal layers of color is a nod to the concept of Wabi Sabi, or the beauty of age. Circles have always symbolized inclusion and wholeness. The distressed irregular colors in each stripe tells a story of the painting, scoring, sanding and repainting needed to give them an aged beauty. The work is endlessly engaging with intricate artifact in every square inch; as if you study it enough, you'll grasp it. More of Olson's artwork can be found online at www.CurtisOlson.com.

Curtis Olson’s mixed media artwork recalls quiet vistas of the American west. In his interpretations of landscapes, textural planes of color hint at fields, horizons, and skies, or are broken into soothing geometries. He frequently incorporates his own stark photography, which points away from traditional “post card” imagery, and looks instead toward the simple silos, gates, and barns that reflect the particular vernacular of the area where he shoots each image. In his photography Olson captures the final holdouts of the rapidly disappearing old west. The work frequently incorporates wood or patinaed metal, the metal riveted and rustic and looking as if it has perhaps just been pulled from the structures featured in Olson’s photography. The resulting abstracted landscapes create a distinct feeling of place– with the colors, textures, and photography working to create contemporary work that retains a memory of the past.
