Английская Википедия:Alex Olson (artist)
Шаблон:Infobox person Alex Olson (born 1978) is an American artist based in Los Angeles, CA. Olson is known for her use of impasto paint and visual patterning.[1]
Early life and education
Olson graduated from Harvard University in 2001 with a Bachelor’s degree. She later earned her MFA from the California Institute of the Arts.[2]
Career
Olson’s work typically consists of thick applications of paint and vibrant colors. Drawing from op art and surrealism, her paintings question ways of looking and the tension between the part and the whole.[3]
Olson often refines thick layers of paint using modelling paste and scores their surface. The texture of her pieces suggest several paintings imbedded in one, set atop a background of brushstrokes that neatly curve in different directions.[4]
