Paintings by Erik Olson

Oh hey, is this a new type of cubism? Perhaps coolism?

These portraits by Canadian artist Erik Olson (yaaas, represent!) give me feelings. I love how each brush stroke has so much texture, it’s almost like icing, but in the shape of art.

His new portraits series is packed with bright hues and multidimensional subjects. They kinda remind me of those weaved collages that have been recently featured in several fashion magazines (you know which ones I’m talking about?).

Portraits, texture, and lots of colour. I am definitely gonna keep an eye on this guy.
