Hello Art Lovers,
Dave is packing up his bags and cleaning his brushes for a art packed week in Eugene, OR at DIVA. Dave has spent the past few months preparing his next masterpiece and it is going to be amazing. For those of you in the Northwest I highly recommend going to the show that will be up through the end of December. Below is a small excerpt from DIVA.
David Teng Olsen’s recent work is made up of colorful, stream-of-consciousness drawings that are done with gel pens and gouache on wood, paper and panel. Although inspired by years of working as a scientific illustrator, all of the drawings were begun without any specific representational idea, so as to emphasize a responsive approach to drawing, and executed using a limited mark-making vocabulary. They are then scanned into a computer, reconsidered, and executed as a grand-scale environment. The end result is a space that evokes feelings of sentimentality for the activities and ephemera of childhood—puzzles, video games, stickers, and doodling—yet is, at the same time, distorted and strange enough to be unfamiliar and new.
