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.

‘Nothing is as Beautiful as Spring’ is an ode to this philosophy – a fine art archival pigment print on paper, hand-signed by the artist, and including his beloved motifs, the frog. Amphibians propel through the pond, entangling with reeds, moss and flecks of other life. Richly green, 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.”
