Ben Olson is among the most riveting artists in
Minneapolis. Known for portrait and figurative paintings
of himself and wife Emma, Olson opens a door into
those moments of human interaction that can best
be described as nothing less than awkward. Through
combining multiple layers of semi-transparent acrylic
paint on plywood, Olson leaves us staring wide-eyed
into the beautiful, the dramatic and often the bizarre
world of relationships. Olson has been published
in New American Painting and his work featured in
interior design shoots in various magazines including
Vogue, Paris. This is Olson's first solo exhibit
in Minneapolis.
