Frank Olt Art
American, b. 1956
Frank Olt is a Professor of Art and Ceramics at CW Post College in NY. He was an artist in residence at PS1 the legendary art studio gallery complex in Long Island City, NY in the 1970's. Frank Olt largely considers himself to be a self taught artist , identifying his influences as Pollock, Johns, Kelly Rothko and Ray Johnson who he met and befriended in the 1970's. His work spans 40 years of traditional ceramics and encaustic paintings with his style evolving over his career and worldwide travels studying the various traditional methods of ceramics and painting. His work remains very much his own unique style that is very much color field, almost abstract and more often than not reflects the landscape around him so keenly observed. Spending summers on Fire Island NY with its unique light and landscape is often seen in works created during those summers.
Olt has shown in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Long Island and Asia. His work is highly regarded as a hybrid of both a modern ceramists, though you will find a kiln in his studio, and an abstract painter, though you will find no brushes in his studio either.
Olt is still living and working on Long island, with his family.
His studio is located in Oyster Bay Long Island
