THE STUDIO / AN OPEN EXPERIMENT
ERIC OLASON · 2027 COLLECTION
Geography,
set free.
One map of Seattle.
A thousand ways to see beyond it.
01 / THE TRANSFORMATION TABLE
Find the city.
Lose yourself.
Color, texture, and pattern transform a constant foundation. Explore a finished study against the satellite map that started it all.
Choose a different vision.
Same shoreline. A completely different world.
Study 006
Golden planes and fine vertical lines stack against black. Bright edges give the repeated angular forms a luminous, architectural depth.
Open this studyA CONSTANT FOUNDATION. AN OPEN-ENDED PRACTICE.
“We begin from a shared foundation,
yet each becomes unique.”
BEGIN WITH A PLACEThe shapes, shorelines, and relationships of Seattle connect the collection.
LET DIFFERENCE HAPPENSome works keep the geography close to the surface; others invite a longer look.
02 / THE COMPOSITION PLAYGROUND
Change the order.
Change the feeling.
Selection is its own creative act. Rearrange twelve distinct studies and watch the relationships change.
Choose a study to step inside. Every tile opens the original artwork.
THE EXPERIMENT KEEPS GROWING.
Individual worlds.
Endless connections.
The 2027 Collection draws from a growing body of approximately 30,000 Seattle artworks. Individual works stand alone, while groups reveal shared rhythms. Each selection reveals another way to see the same city.
