About the Item

[lives & works – Philadelphia, PA ::: b. 1954] Peter Olson is a Philadelphia-based photographer and ceramicist who creates pieces that chemically and conceptually fuse the two media. His work collages forms and imagery from European art history with his original street photography, “There’s nothing on them that hasn’t gone through my camera” is his axiom. Olson is a trained professional photographer, who over the past six years has explored new frontiers in the medium with his entrée to ceramics. He is inspired by museum collections and throngs of hurried pedestrians in NYC and other large metropoles. The repetition and rhyming of ritual, both daily and religious, act as a baseline for the bands of imagery that play like sheet music around his ceramic garnitures. The kaleidoscopic photo-collages wrap around the pieces completely, including the interiors, creating moments of surprise, and hint at narratives as the past and present melt into one another “He is the fields most inventive and inspired master of fired decals (a 17th century innovation) infusing them with the passion for his subjects and magical, kinetic banding.”, from CFILE.
