A bulletin board, a campfire, a scull, a grave, a band, guitars, a hunter with a bow, a little bird. In Jeff Olsson´s one minute film Fulsommar brinn (roughly translated Ugly-summer burn) describes a boyish world: Boy scout adventures meet hard rock wilderness romance.Jeff Olsson works mainly with narrative drawing and uses traditional materials such as charcoal, graphite powder, pencils and paper.
- I relate to my visual world as a place that I temporarily visit when I draw. With my drawing I search for landscapes and people. Not knowing who or what awaits is an important part of my work process. The content of the drawings almost always takes place at night, I am interested in the ambivalence that the night offers. Darkness can bring danger and discomfort, but there is also a kind of poetic potential in the indeterminacy.
