ESTHER OLSSON
NAARM (MELBOURNE), AUSTRALIA
Esther Olsson’s painting are vibrant narratives that generate a graphic grid system, playing off her imaginative worlds. Olsson work’s predominantly with gouache on paper using a flat application. Her stylistic method incorporates a complementary integration of the grid system and reference to coded stories that use image repetition to communicate her lived experiences and day to day life.
The recurring figures Olsson paints represent protection, empowerment, ambition, envy and emotions. Her intention is to generate joyous and light-hearted imagery that reflects her philosophy to approach life with a sense of humor and joviality.
