Luis Olaso: The Garden

The body of work behind The Garden expands on Olaso’s signature elements into bolder, more saturated colours as the artist plays with forced contrasts and chromatic amplitude. He pays fine attention to the whites and lightnesses of the canvas, utilizing the blank spaces and brushstrokes to float his naturalistic elements and build tension for his dramatic use of colour.

Challenging the exhibition as a “blank canvas”, Olaso has created an all-encompassing experience, where each work connects into a wall-to-wall abstract rendition of his environment. With The Garden, Olaso offers a space to stop and connect with his works, as “just as [my paintings] come from a specific personal moment on my part, the viewer will connect either with my message, or seek to travel to your own ‘Garden’ and make your personal journey.”
