Alex Olson — Proposal 7
Alex Olson

Proposal 7

Alex Olson's *Proposal 7* is an oil on linen painting that embodies the artist's signature approach to abstraction, balancing gestural mark-making with a refined sense of composition and surface. Olson layers translucent and opaque passages of paint to create a tension between depth and flatness, inviting the viewer to contemplate the physical presence of the work itself. The linen ground remains an active element throughout, its texture and warmth subtly informing the overall atmosphere of the piece.
