Octavian Florescu

The search for the Human essence, for the link between the human reality and the spiritual one are the leading ideas in Octavian Florescu's work.

Frank Olesen

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."
