Karl Richard Olsen                Receives 2010 Gold Medal Award

Picture
Karl took home the Gold Medal in the 2010 Plastic Club’s Members’ Medals Show “Norge“, graphite & pastel. 

Check out the perfect hoop earring, a simple shape created with confident strokes, anchoring the image in a time, place, personality, style… it’s amazing how charcoal & pastel can look so liquidy & fluid

Karl Olsen with model/artist Aurthur Ostroff @ MCGOPA show last Fall. Olsen is driven to achieve a level of technique, style, originality that is fiercely determined, tenacious yet warmly accessible - everyone loves impressionism but Olsen's squishy brushwork has a darker undercurrent of emotion like a 21st Century Otto Dix.

For The Inquirer


The "Fall Juried Show" by The Montgomery County Guild of Professional Artits at the Schuylkill Printing Plant in Upper Merion succeeds in a way similar to the Main Line event. That's because  participation by this show's judge, Helen Meyrick, Projects Gallery owner/director in Philadelphia, very often attracted the best efforts of artists submitting  work that they thought would pass muster with her.
This is a very strong show.

Montgomery County Guild of Professional Artists at:
Inquirer Building, Rtes.23 and 320 Upper Merion
To December 5. Daily 8-4 Free  610-292-6048
