artist biography
Sven Olow Olsson was born 13 January, 1924 in Sandviken. He was a Swedish painter, draftsman, and graphic artist. 

Olsson studied at the Kunstindustriskolen in Oslo from 1949 to 1951, where he was a student of Finn Faaborg. He also undertook private study trips to Norway, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Russia.

His first exhibition took place in Sandviken in 1947, and he subsequently held several more exhibitions in his hometown. Olsson also presented solo exhibitions at Galerie Moderne, Stockholm (1953), Galleri Brinken, Stockholm (1955), and at Modern konst i hemmiljö, Gävle (1954, 1957, 1961). He exhibited at Hälsinglands Museum, Hudiksvall (1952, 1961), Falun (1953, 1956, 1958), Örebro (1955), Bollnäs (1949, 1955), Hofors (1954), and Skutskär (1959, with Johnny Mattsson).

In addition, he participated repeatedly in the annual “Unga Tecknare” (“Young Draftsmen”) exhibitions at the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, and frequently in exhibitions organized by the Gävleborg County Art Association in Gävle, beginning in 1952. He also took part in numerous touring exhibitions with the Gävleborg Group of artists across Sweden, as well as in the Spring Salon of the Swedish General Art Association, Stockholm (1957) and in the Dalarna Art Association’s exhibition in the same year.

Critical response to his work was strong. Writing in Konstrevy (1953), Emmy Melin noted that Olsson’s Stockholm debut revealed “a painter belonging to the Gävleborg Group, of interest above all through his picture construction, with elements both of Norwegian monumental art and stylised abstraction. He builds his motifs in a checkered pattern and a dense web of lines, producing a mosaic-like structure. The color is heavy and monotonous, but his images of harbors and street scenes are infused with a somber, concentrated intensity.” Later, in Stockholms-Tidningen (2 March 1955), critic M. Strömberg observed that Olsson, “apparently under the influence of Norwegian painting, had adopted a broader manner of presentation. He shows a stronger temperament than painterly sensitivity. When he works in oils the result is often hard and unyielding, but as a watercolorist and draftsman he consistently maintains a higher quality.”

Earlier in his career Olsson found inspiration in the cities of Spain, the Netherlands, and France, but in later years he increasingly focused on the forests, steelworks, and towns of northern Sweden, rendered in a palette of black, brown, and red.

Beyond his paintings and prints, Olsson also worked as an illustrator for Arbetarbladet (Gävle), Gävle Dagblad, and Sandvikens Tidning. He executed mural paintings for Gävle Sparbank, Sandviken, and for the Stadshotellet, Sandviken.

Olsson is represented in the collections ofthe National Museum in Stockholm, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Gävle Museum, Hälsinglands Museum, Örebro Municipality, Sandvikens Municipality and the Gustaf VI Adolfs Collection.

He passed away on July 7, 1971 at the age of 46 in Gävle.

We Feel the Same
Format: Kindle
Olive and Stella are such great, unique characters and so well developed and portrayed in this story. Their fear of commitment is realistic and their differences well defined. I loved every part of this tale and don't see how anybody else wouldn't feel the same.

Favorite book so far!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I’ve recently dived into sapphic novels and this is book 5 of my collection and i can confidently say this is my favorite i’ve read! I love how easy of a read it is! It got delivered at 3 and i finished it by 6, i was hooked. i would totally recommend this as a first time sapphic book! The characters are easy to understand and it features the “useless lesbians” chiche that i love so much in books. I laughed and cried and gasped while reading it. This book really hit home with the themes and characters, making its way into my heart as an unforgettable read.

okay
Format: Kindle
I have been so excited to get to this one for a while, and I really wanted to (and was so sure that I would) love this one, but in the end I thought it was just okay. This one started out so strong IMO (I'm a nervous flyer so I understood Olivia), I loved the "meet cute", and as a previous runner (who did RunDisney) I loved that part. I was really excited to see where it went once I realized it was going to be fake dating (my favorite trope). I liked each MC, but I really wish that Stella's POV was also included. I liked most of the side characters, and enjoyed how emotional the family aspects of this book were. This is open door, and there were a few really sweet/swoony sweet moments. For me this one felt very long in some points, but slow in others. Another thing that really bugged me was that Stella is described as "Latina". I personally hated that we were pretty far into the book before that was discussed, and I felt like it was weirdly used as a plot for why Stella was trying so hard to get her promotion. I also hated that there was so much family drama with Olive's family and there was no real resolution, and with Stella's dad I was hoping to see where he was in his diagnosis in the epilogue. Over all it wasn't a bad book, but it was disappointing IMO. I know this author has another book coming out soon, and I will eventually read it, and I hope it works better for me.

Fantastic debut sapphic romance!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I just want to hug these characters! Fly With Me has been a book I’ve been looking forward to reading for some time now, I’m excited to say it does not disappoint! 🩷💜💙 This sapphic romance was full of steamy bits, darling tender moments, and tons of emotional goodness! I adore when a romance packs an emotional punch, and this one absolutely does! There is depression, panic attacks, end of life care, sexism in the workplace, and so much more. Surrounding all of that though is a cute wlw love story with fake dating, a funny dog, delicious food, pop culture references, road trips, a sick/comfort moment, and deep conversations! All in all- I really enjoyed this one! Andie did an amazing job at writing characters that felt real and familiar! I can’t wait to see what else she writes moving forward!

Wonderful Read
Format: Kindle
Fly With Me is a heartfelt story filled with witty banter and internal monologues yet incredibly touching. It is also about both finding and recognizing your own strength and worth. Olive and Stella agree to a fake relationship that of course turns into the real thing as they learn about themselves as well as each other. Add in a great cast of characters including a loveable dog, family health issues and drama, and a jealous ex and you have a story that is a wonderful read!
