About the Item

Frank Olt was a artist in residence at P.S1, the legendary Long Island City studio/gallery complex during the late 70s. Olt regards himself largely as a self taught painter, identifying his influences as Pollock, Johns, Twonbly, Kelly, Rothko, and Johnson who he met and befriended in the late 70s. Olt never studied painting formally, his educational background emphased ceramics and sculpture. He studied clay techniques at the Crafts Students League in NYC, and it introduced him to compositional forms, color and the artistic process. He studied as a student at C.W. Post college, where he gained knowledge of the Bauhaus experience from his ceramics teacher Rose Krebs, who came to America directly from the Bauhaus Pottery. She conveyed abstract concepts that were rooted in grouding color theory and formal structure. She established an influential pattern for Olt, and as she was a traditionalist she was open to new interpretations and experimental art. Olt began teaching at Friends Academy and then on the college level at LIU in 1984. He was a professor and head of the ceramics department. In 1992, Olt was awarded a comission by the N.Y.C. Art in Transit Program to create an installation for the Subway Station at 23rd St and Ely avenue in Long Island City. Further public installations and commissions followed along with Museum Shows and international gallery representation. Frank Olt has exhibited with Lynda Anderson Galleries for over 15 years. His inspiration in color and form are much inspired by the landscape of Oyster Bay where he lives with his family, and Fire Island where he has summered for 25 years.

  • Coastal Fugue #1
    By Sylvia Torres
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    This is the beautiful island Santa Rosa, one of the Channel Islands Sanctuary islands just off the California mainland. This vast stretch is adorned with a variety of fiery wildflowers stretching far and wide, like a musical composition of various themes and in different voices. Santa Rosa is home to an incredible array of birds and marine life. It is a narrow but spreading landscape ribboned with trails, each one seemingly in the manner of a flight or chase, repeating the same melody in a slight variation. The cliffs drop hundreds of feet to the crashing swells of ocean below, home to historic shipwrecks peacefully intact. Torres’ paintings appear on the sets of popular television shows: Big Little Big Lies, Criminal Minds, Chicago Med, Grey’s Anatomy...
