Jeff Olsson, ”Natten reser som en ljudlös fågel” at Kristinehamns konstmuseum, Sweden
From press release (In Swedish only):
Jeff Olsson, född i Kristinehamn 1981, har berättat att han har tecknat så länge han kan minnas. I tonåren valde han bort ishockeyn i Kristinehamn för tecknandet, och han fick av sin bildlärare veta att det fanns konstutbildningar att söka. Via estetiska programmet med bildinriktning på gymnasiet, konstskola på Kyrkerud hemma i Värmland och sedan konsthögskolan Valand i Göteborg växte bildvärlden fram.
I vårutställningen 2021 vill Kristinehamns konstmuseum visa Jeff Olssons värld där naturen är influerad av myter och fabler.

From press release:
Welcome to our summer exhibition Art Attack delivering a real injection of contemporary art to you! Art Attack was born out of the Corona crisis when we had to change our planned summer exhibition. We hope this acts as an “art attack” stimulating your mind in a positive way during uncertain times. Right now, when we ourselves and the world at large face challenges, art can contribute to reflection and perspective on our existence and eternal existential questions.

Främlingar / Strangers at Hellvi Kännungs, Gotland, Sweden
The exhibition is extended until August 1. Open Wednesday July 31 and August 1 between 2–6 pm!
This exhibition is a personal selection of works that all formally resemble the portrait. Some of them are made as portraits of specific people, while others merely use the human face as a means of expression. Common to all drawings, paintings and sculptures is that the depicted a person is the main motif of the work. The oldest artwork in the exhibition dates from the 17th century, the last one was finished only a few weeks ago.

Jeff Olsson, Nevven Gallery, Gothenburg, Sweden
From press release:
“Jag känner en utsatthet när jag vistas i naturen.
Naturen skrämmer mig och jag bearbetar rädslor när jag tecknar”
Jeff Olsson
There is something out of place in Jeff Olsson’s art. His delicate charcoal drawings are magnificent and magnetic, yet never reassuring nor at peace. They depict a world which is dark and tense when quiet, and humorous, grotesque and violent when action takes place. It is a realm where lonely raving lunatics ride vast plains and solitary wild animals haunt the dark wilderness.
