Interview
I love the colorful expression and uniqueness of Brian’s art!
It is such an innovative approach to art. I love Olsen’s energy and the final products are beautiful pieces of art created via pure energy and passion!
I like Brian’s art because it reminds me that I can entertain as well as educate when I am giving tours to students at the Denver Art Museum. I can’t do what he can do but I can reassure students that they are capable of making art.
Artists like Brian and Danny Dent are inspiration for all artists in all fields. Amazing work!
I like Brian’s art because it keeps Denny Dent’s legacy alive.
Loved the unique way he uses light and dark on the canvas! I wish he had classes for beginners!! Now that would be fun!!
I have never seen anything like Brian’s art. It is amazing and I love the enthusiasm he creates his art with!
True art! Quick no thinking just create best type of true form of expression. LOVE IT!
In the words of my nine-year-old, “Whooaaa, that was so cool!”
He makes the creation of Art look fun & energetic !! Love the art he creates and experiences
Absolutely amazing to watch! Great energy definitely shows up in the artwork. Looks great……it helps that I’m such a big Albert fan too.
Very industrious and he seems to be more than an artist but a performer as well. Brian Rocks!
I love that art. I have never seen that kind of painting before. I love to go to art gallerys and look, but this is exiting. You are very talented. i would be proud to display your painting in my home.
Brian, two words bro… “bad ass”!!!
One of a kind!!!
You truly paint with heart, body and soul. Awesome to watch!
What a different approach to create a painting! And they come out extremely neat and rare. I find the art
quite eye catching and entertaining to watch him create it.
Brian’s energy is exciting and entertaining to watch! Can’t wait to see what he will create next…
To have the talent to create such a fantastic piece of art in a few minutes is absolutely brilliant!! I love it!!
Brian’s high-energy, creativity and ability to explore outside the confines of traditional art inspire my sons to look at things in a new way, to turn things around to produce new outcomes. It just so happens that Einstein is one of their personal heroes – they have a cat named Einstein. Bringing Brian and Albert together embodies Einstein’s saying: “Imagination is more important than intelligence.” I would like to win so my sons are inspired to be uniquely creative.
I would love to have that piece to watch over ClipWick (my invention) almost from the start.
LOVE THE ART!! LOVE THE ENERGY!!!
You make me want to dance and paint & I wish you could come to our elementary school !!
A great way to combine music and art, with beautiful results. More mportantly, hes a local. Looking forward to visiting his gallery.
His imagination and energy is fantastic. Enjoy wathing him work.
I like this type of art because he makes it look so easy to do……And it looks so real!!!!!!!!!
Wow! That was absolutely amazing! And so quick!
LOVE the Jimmy Hendrix painting! Use of color was fantastic!!
****PLEASE PLEASE PICK ME!!!****
Wonderful work! Fun to watch and a great technique.
All around fun,makes you wont to wrap him up and take him home! “LOVE IT “
I love how Brian can create an outstanding piece of work with very few colors. I also love his energy. What a talent!.
Meet Denny Dent in Laramie Wy. and i am a so happy to see that his form of art has not been lost and lives on threw you. Truely Inspiring. Love your work
His truley was ART ATTACK as yours is ART IN ACTION.
Beautiful
Do you also do the upside down ones?
Would be so proud to have your painting on my wall
Have seen Denny at the Cherry Creek arts festival. Unbelieable to say the least.

i watched his on kdvr this morning. wow he is beyond amazing. i’m a 100% disabled veteran, and if i could afford to buy his work, i would cover my whole apartment in his work. tell you friends abpot brians awsome work
I love how he gets inspired by the MUSIC, I’M a DJ and I would love to do a set with him, I PLAY the music of an artist and he paints it !! He would not know what artist I would play NEXT tho, we could do a 30 minute set !! So it would be like an “IMPROVE DJ/ART” set !!!! This will be a WORK OUT for him lol…….
We just had our Outdoor 6th grade lab cancelled for this week @ Windy Peak !! Somebody was threatening our Kendallvue kids!! Your energy & creativity put a smile on my 6th grader’s face even when she was down-thanks !! You are an inspiration!
It is great how Brain brings out his way of music in his painting. I do not put painting on my wall but if I can win one of his it will be the first to go on my wall. His painting say more then anyother painting I have ever seen. I could sit and watch you all day and there is not much I can just sit there for. I know my kids would love it to. Thanks for the chance. First time I have ever seen this kind of painting. Great work Brain keep on going.
I love the simplicity of his art, and the surprise factor you get while watching Brian’s “Art in Action;” all of a sudden you realize the piece he is putting together and it is a truely awesome feeling.
I have a short attention span so it’s especially impactful for me to see each painting take shape in real-time. Each painting has a vibrant persona that truly captures the subject – it’s like the powerful emotion Brian puts into his Art in Action is preserved on the canvas, you can feel it!.
Not only inspirational, but lots of fun. Brian’s work is amazing. Carrying on the vision of his mentor Denny Dent. I have seen Brian’s works in the attic of a house he use to rent to the studio behind his current home.
He’s a friend and a client. Great to see you on Fox 31 this morning. Oh yeah, Katelyn is still a fan. She enjoyed the segment too.
Why I like Brian’s art! August 30, 2010 – Denver’s Fox 31 News
God gave Brian the gift of ‘Artistic Vision, Memory-Recall and Speed’ that demonstrates his ability to recreate images vividly painted right before your eyes (my lower jaw dropped opened in awe). Only a brilliant artist like Brian could recreate images in lightening speed from memory-recall splashed with music in exact detail. We speak from memory, Brian paints from memory. He is uniquely and colorfully Blessed. I say, “…you go Boy”. My apartment walls are bare. Yes, having a work of Art from Brian’s collection would be invaluable. I would be honored and my wall(s) would be excited too! Brian Olsen has talent received from God. D. McGill
Note: I came to Colorado two years ago for Cancer treatment(s). So far, the breast cancer is in full remission and the lung cancer is in partial remission.
The Way Brian Olsen Paints Is A True gift! Very talented!! I’m A Big Fan Of Jimi and Albert!!!
Wow! That was amazing to see you create such an interesting piece of art work in just minutes! I would love to you see work in person. Einstein translated into art is a very special thing to me… Before I was born my father painted Einstein and now that he has past it is one a my favorite treasures. I would love to treasure this piece as well. Thanks for the chance.
Very unique! i was soooo AMAZED to see the finished product!!!
I love the way Brian uses the negative space, and the faces reveal themselves by peeking out of the dark and then become clearer and more vibrant. The energy in his work is astounding, and incredible! I love the technique and the end results are fabulous!
Simple, art is freedom of expression and you can tell alot about a person through their art (era,trendy trends or disfunction) pinpointing character and personality. Artists like Brian inspires me because viewers enjoy creative perceptions and depictions outside of their own lifestyles which makes the world more interesting and exciting!
Brian is a phenomenon! His work is entertaining and inspiring and it is a delight to watch his creations unfold before you! Very enjoyable on many levels!!!
I love the energy that comes from watching you work to the great music you choose. Your style lends itself easily to the music and vice versa. Not to mention watching a piece take shape is like taking a voyage of discovery each time. Keep up the good work, glad to see fellow Colorado creatives succeed!
WOW! I want to find out how to book this for our corp event? This was cool and HONEY WOW!!!
I have 2 that Brian painted and all I can say is I want more. How about that Jimi – that was cool! Everyone should buy this guys paintings and he does a bunch of great work. John.
