{"product_id":"olsen-john-lake-encounter-17885","title":"John Olsen 'Lake Encounter'","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this electrifying composition, John Olsen plunges us into a nocturnal ecosystem alive with motion and mystery. Against a deep, inky ground, incandescent reds, searing oranges and flashes of electric blue surge and scatter, conjuring a teeming world of amphibian and aquatic life. Olsen’s signature calligraphic line darts and loops across the surface like a living current, mapping not a fixed landscape, but a pulsing, sensory experience of it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForms emerge and dissolve in a kind of visual improvisation: frog-like bodies, cellular clusters, and drifting organic shapes appear momentarily before being reabsorbed into the whole. This oscillation between recognition and abstraction creates a dynamic tension, as though we are witnessing the inner life of the landscape, its rhythms, energies, and unseen connections - rather than its outward appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth exuberant and immersive, the work exemplifies Olsen’s enduring fascination with waterholes and wetlands as sites of vitality and transformation. As a hand-signed fine art print, it offers collectors a striking and atmospheric expression of his vision - an image that vibrates with life, movement, and the restless poetry of the natural world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/artandcollectors.com\/collections\/john-olsen\"\u003eJohn OLSEN\u003c\/a\u003e (1928 - 2023)\u003cbr\u003e'Lake Encounter'\u003cbr\u003earchival pigment print on paper\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eImage Size\u003c\/i\u003e: 100 x 110 cm \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDimensions\u003c\/i\u003e: 113 x 116 cm \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSigned\u003c\/i\u003e: Signed and editioned in margin: AP John Olsen\u003cbr\u003eComes with Letter of Provenance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis image was selected as the cover for the 2016 publication John Olsen: Journeys into the ‘You Beaut Country’ by Jenny Zimmer and Ken McGregor.
