In an echo of nature itself, John Olsen’s work resists stagnation. It is in constant movement, his line looping through landscapes and lifeforms to evoke the interconnectedness and vitality of all living creatures.

‘Frog Springs’ is a sublime image. It is a fine art archival print on paper, hand-signed by the artist, and featuring among his most beloved motifs – the frog. Amphibians shoot through the pond, entangled with reeds and moss. Verdant, uplifting and iconically Olsen, this work is an opportunity for collectors of the artist and landscapes.

Olsen is represented across all public collections, contributing not only a distinct but a deeply contemplative perspective to Australian art. In his words, “Don’t think of form, think of forming. Forming is a growing, developing process, like a plant or living organism.”
