Review: Anders Olson
By Shannon on Thursday, November 17th, 2005
One of the things about living in this city is that there is art everywhere. I was reminded of this when I went to Max Fish, a regular ‘ol bar in the Lower East side, and saw three paintings on the wall as good as anything in a gallery.
Anders Olson, the artist, has bravely chosen three very personal and raw pieces to display. The first impression I had was that they were very different styles and techniques, one of the front room pieces looks like a collection of photographs while the one hanging in the back has a more symbolic and dreamlike feel to it. But upon closer inspection I realized that they were a series of self portraits, using a layering technique in different ways to convey the different aspects of the artist.
Below are a couple pictures I was able to get (right click and choose view image for a bigger size), but nothing compares to going down there and seeing it for yourself.
