THE CHEF’S TABLE | DECK 1 JARLE TEIGEN OLSEN 1969 x NORWAY x ACRYLIC ON CANVAS In his paintings, Jarle Teigen Olsen balances the figurative and the abstract in a rich tapestry of shapes and colors. With a repetition of figures and forms, his works can be reminiscent of wallpaper or textile patterns. Olsen finds his inspiration in Eastern aesthetics, Japanese woodcuts and kimono textiles, Arabic architecture and decor and, last but not least, nature. The basis of his motives is nature in all its diversity — trees, branches, flowers and birds. His pictures are made up of numerous layers, which create an illusion of depth, while decorative shapes and forms hold the image surface. 30 BY 30 | 2014 46
