OLSEN Gallery is delighted to announce the opening of Stephen Ormandy and Louise Olsen's major survey exhibition The Art of Dinosaur Designs at the Hazlehurst Regional Gallery. The exhibition is a colourful fusion of art, design and fashion, referencing Olsen and Ormandy?s iconic design label Dinosaur Designs and explores the artful and aesthetic prevalent throughout their work. The exhibition features a series of more than 40 large-scale sculptural forms that celebrate the pair?s thirty year creative partnership. Gathering highlights of Olsen and Ormandy?s creative career, Louise Olsen & Stephen Ormandy: The Art of Dinosaur Designs features works such as Series 8: Movement (2011), a set of eight disks in dazzling colours commissioned to mark the fifth anniversary of Brisbane?s Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA). ?More recent commissions include Loop (2014), a wall-hung sculpture evocative of ??the rhythmic lines created when you drop a rock in a lake? as Olsen describes it. Its soft colour transitions are a constant to Collar Bone (2014) which is characterised by chroma clashes from orange to blue rendered in a painterly application.
