Jonny Olsen is a Canadian artist and photographer who strives to embody colour and movement in all his paintings and photgraphs. He calls this style 'decorative movemetism'. Within this style Jonny uses many themes such as cityscapes, abstract, landscapes and realism. Jonny's unique art first became known when he had an ongoing exhibit at a little bar in downtown Ottawa called the Elbow Room, but he eventually became even more known when his murals starting popping up in varous downtown Ottawa locations.         While Jonny has his degree in Environmental Studies from the University of Waterloo, he spent every elective in the Fine Arts building learning how to perfect his painting talent. Jonny lives in Ottawa and performs with his well known group Junkyard Symphony, but when he is not performing, he is painting or undertaking an artistic project of some sort. Jonny's favourite subject to paint is cityscapes, but he loves many styles and is available for comissoned work so have a look through the site and enjoy! CITYSCAPES Jonny's favourite subject to paint is images of the city. He especially loves to give his buildings a bendy design. ABSTRACT Jonny's second favourite style is abstract, influenced by artists such as Picasso. Bright vibrant colours are a staple in Jonny's painting style. LANDSCAPES Jonny is also a big fan of the outdoors. He especially loves trees and vibrant skies. PEOPLE However, paintings of people can be interesting too. Jonny's most common medium for his artwork is acrylic paint. But he uses other mediums such as pastels and colour pencils. DECORATIVE As well as being colourful, many of his artworks are vibrant and imaginative. And while most of his artworks focus on the above subjects, the sky is the limit as to what an artist can choose to present. So one might call this category 'Miscellaneous'. But one thing that all the sugjects in his artworks have in common is that they are very decorative. Therefore, on this website, any artwork that is not a cityscaspe, a landscape, an abstract or a person, will be categorized as 'Decorative'. PHOPPART A new style Jonny is trying is PhoppArt which stands for Photoshopped Art. With the ability to correct mistakes, smouth out curves and lines, accentuate colours and brighten the contrast, PhoppArt really pops! PHOTOGRAPHY Lastly, Jonny does photography. Just as his paintings are vibrantly colourful, so are his pictures. NAVIGATION TIP Click on any picture or title picture in this website to advance to the menu button and other navigational options.
