Erik Olson Prints - AWAAZ Residency 2026

from $175.00

This new body of work was created in Baroda, India, during Olson’s 2026 residency at AWAAZ Studio. Working from fourteen drypoint copper plates, Olson produced a suite of black-and-white prints, each issued in an edition of 20. Alongside these editions, he created a series of unique color monotypes by painting directly onto the etched copper plates before printing, allowing each impression to become a singular variation on the original image.

The result is a collection that moves between structure and improvisation: the drypoint editions preserve the immediacy of incised line, while the monotypes introduce color, touch, and chance into the printing process.

Unique Monotypes:One-of-a-kind color works painted and printed from the etched copper plates. (Please note that color monotypes are 1-of-1 and as such only one can be added to your cart. )

Drypoint Editions:Fourteen black-and-white prints, each printed in an edition of 20. The full set of fourteen is available for $2,000.

Erik Olson(b. 1982) is a Canadian artist whose work moves fluidly between painting, printmaking and sculpture. In 2010 Olson motorcycled over 10,000 kilometres through the vast landscapes of India, a formative experience that echoes throughout his current work. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver and later studied as a guest student of Peter Doig at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Olson has exhibited widely across Canada, the United States, and Europe, with exhibitions at institutions and galleries including Contemporary Calgary and the Glenbow Museum. His work has been featured in the Brooklyn Rail, Juxtapoz Magazine and The Rheinische Post, among others. His artwork is held in numerous public and corporate collections, including the Art Gallery of Alberta, RBC, TD Bank, and Ivey Business School. In Fall 2026, Olson will design sets for the Alberta Ballet's eagerly anticipated production of 'Peer Gynt'. He lives and works in Calgary.
