toward the spotlight on the far side of the room. Suddenly an explosion
of shouts and cheers erupts through the crowd as an energizing beat surges
through the air and Brian Olsen charges onto the stage.
With his hands full of brushes, he begins an engaging acrobatic performance

saturated elbow on the canvas, or rapidly tapping a series of marks with
his fingertips.
Brian’s paintings of famous figures from world history to Hollywood,
are choreographed in an awesome auditory and visual performance on a
huge canvas, taking the audience through surprise, hilarity, suspense,

something they
had not experienced before."
-- Gayle Wingo, Tournament Director
Hilton Head Island Celebrity Golf Tournament
Brian Olsen began his performance art career as the one and only protégé of
renowned performance artist, Denny Dent. Brian explains, "I
have always been passionate about art and the energy it can release.
My
passion for painting, especially the challenge of portraits, grew
from various
roots - [from] photography in Hawaii, [to] landscape design in college.
But it was Denny who put it all together for me. He [taught me to
use] the SHOW part of the performance to drive home the real message
of
personal creativity. And, almost magically, letting the music and
the audience
drive the process to its dramatic conclusion."
Brian Olsen has taken
this art form and made it his own with a unique visual style, unveiling
the spirit and charisma of his subjects. Brian conveys
one compelling message to his audiences - Everything is possible through creativity!
