You will never step in the same river twice, is an exploration of personal experience, human nature, and the ways in which we modify modern-day life. This new series of mixed-media paintings are set within a living installation, entirely immersing viewers.
Olsson’s works are playful graphic fields, bedizened with snakes, angels, bees and flowers which collectively embody the interconnectivity of our world. By using a combination of gouache and flat paper application, her stories seem illustrative in nature – ludic scenes composed in a playful, abstract and comic fashion.
Her work relies on her daily experience, drawing on events such as a friend’s early morning arrest during a coal mine protest, or the solicitude felt after a legal copyright settlement.
