The Paintings of David Oleski  introduction

 

David Oleski. b.1961. Boston, Massachusetts; education: 1983, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Maryland Institute, College of Art, Baltimore, Maryland; currently living in West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA.

David Oleski has found a voice in his version of an intense scrutiny of the world around him. Following in the footsteps of the 19th century Impressionists, he continues to explore increasingly fragmented views of simple still lifes. He captures a sense of rhythm and atmosphere with sophisticated colors, and thick and deliberate brushwork.

After graduating from art school, a brief hiatus from painting lasted for the next 15 years. During the very last days of 1998 he was sitting in a cafe in Quebec City, and very quietly decided to start painting again. In early 2004 he moved to West Chester, Pennsylvania, where he will continue his studies in a new studio, surrounded by the wooded hills and open fields of Chester County. He continues to develop an extensive and colorful website which chronicles many aspects of the life of an artist. This website features an online gallery, a live video broadcast from his painting studio and an ongoing journal of his painting experiences.

David Oleski serves on the board of directors of the Rittenhouse Square Fine Arts Association. He travels to various major cities throughout the spring, summer and fall to show his work at a number of outdoor art exhibitions. His work is also featured by the sales and rental program of the Philadelphia Museum of Art as well as being represented by several other galleries throughout the United States.
