Sydney Sun is our stockroom highlight of the week! This joyous sold-out print is currently available in the Olsen Annexe stockroom.
During the 1960s, Olsen created a number of ambitious ceiling paintings for private patrons, including “You Beaut Country”, “Darlinghurst Cats”, and “Five Bells”. One of the most celebrated of these works was the three-panel “Sydney Sun” (1965), which Olsen described as an “all-at-once world; a totality of experience.” Through swirling lines, energetic forms, and vibrant colour, the painting captures the overwhelming heat, light, and movement of Sydney and reflects Olsen’s deeply emotional response to Australia.

Evie Adasal’s exhibition “Dopamine” continues at Olsen Gallery this week, current until 23 May.
@evie.adasal@timjolsen@fatografi_insta
As Evie writes:
“Dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved in motivation and reward prediction, often associated with anticipation rather than reward itself. It drives the impulse to seek, to return, and to pursue something not yet realised.
In my practice, this sense of anticipation unfolds through returning to the gardens and through the process of painting itself. I am searching for a particular moment of resolution a ‘hit’ where colour, structure and rhythm lock into place. That moment is never fixed, only approached, and it is this ongoing pursuit that the work holds”.

Congratulations to our talented artists!
Join us this Saturday for opening celebrations for Teo Treloar’s exhibition “TETHERED”.
TETHERED is made through analogue processes using expired medium-format film alongside out-of-date FP-100C and 3000B instant film. Fogging, shifts in colour and density, uneven development, chemical marks, and occasional failure are part of the material outcome, carried on photographic surface with what was in front of the camera.

@kafkas_pencil@timjolsen@olsen_gallery
The photographs in Tethered centre on the concept of relational gravity: the pull between people, places, and materials. They carry grief and love, and hold ideas of place and loss.
Join us in the gallery for the opening celebrations of Kate Shaw’s “Divine Matrix” and Evie Adasal’s “Dopamine”. Opening this Wednesday, April 29 from 5-7pm.

Join us in the gallery next week for the opening of Kate Shaw’s Divine Matrix. Opening celebrations on Wednesday 29 April from 5-7pm.
Australian contemporary artist Kate Shaw stands at the forefront of ecological and visionary painting, producing works that blur the boundaries between elemental forces
and human perception. Based between Melbourne and the United States, Shaw has forged a career of remarkable breadth and depth, exhibiting internationally in major solo and group exhibitions, and earning recognition in museum shows and public collections throughout the world. With a practice rooted in both technical mastery and conceptual inquiry, her art embodies a unique fusion of natural beauty, psychological terrain, and ecological concern.�
