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.
