Frank Olesen

	Livet omkring mig, historiske begivenheder og store personligheder inspirerer mig til at udtrykke stemninger og kigge indad. Min stædighed driver mig til at udforske nye dimensioner samt temaer og male mine fortolkninger i farver og holdninger på lærredet. Mvh Frank Olesen Life around me, historical events and great personalities inspire me to express myself and to search within. My stubbornness drives me to explore new dimensions and themes and I express my interpretations with colours and attitudes on canvas. Regards Frank Olesen
Feb 5, 2007	Mar 20, 2007	Apr 22, 2007	May 13, 2007	Aug 15, 2007	Jan 17, 2008	A conversation between rigor and abandon underlies the dialogic, smoldering audacity of Danish artist Frank Olesen's abstract works. His skillful ability with composition and color conveys an austere command of the medium, combined with an effusive spontaneity. Born in Copenhagen, Olesen embraced painting only after the completion of his auspicious career as a matchrace sailor. Bold and sharp typography overlays a maelstrom of both deep and luminous hues, while elegant and blushing novas of form and color enchant the viewer. His use of text is sometimes narrative or philosophical, but most often enigmatic, interweaving mysterious messages or mandates with numbers and unexplained codes. Olesen strives to aesthetically seduce with his exuberant compositions. "The pictures can be read quickly, if one so desires, but they only reveal a fraction of their secrets," Olesen states. Yet, if one is willing to deeply engage the work, the pieces "emerge and grow and become something bigger than both creator and recipients."
