Welcome

Olof Art brings art and people together. Comprised of a diverse group of artists, it sets up an exciting venue for creativity that allows people to explore Outsider and Contemporary Art in a multicultural context. Olof Art represents and promotes art that is fresh, innovative, riveting, poetic, and sincere through the local and international exhibitions such as The Outsider Art Fair in New York, and various collaborations with art galleries, creating a network of national and international contacts. The end result is a cohesive project full of new discoveries and fresh ideas.

The Artists

In 2018 Hab Vandenwijngaard decided to continue with Olof Art as a collective. The collective currently consists of Hab Vandenwijngaard, Scarlett Haasnoot (Textile / Weaving Art), Floyd van den Wijngaard (Graphic Art). While conforming to its own artistic sensibilities, the collective maintains inspiring worldwide contacts with artists and galleries around the world; most notable located in the USA, Iceland, Japan and Denmark.

Olof Art

In 2015 Hab Vandenwijngaard took over Olof Art with the intent to offer a worldwide stage to the Outsider art. Over the past few years there has been a growing interest in the Outsider art. Indeed, our interest has not only grown but has changed as well. For instance, we have met and worked with many different artists who have been working outside the mainstreams of the art world without having ties to any group or an association. As seen from our artist selection – the artists we are working with live both in Europe and in the United States, our aesthetic is not grounded in only one country or one organization instead, we are interested in a broader point of view. Olof Art recognizes the need for flexibility and mobility as a requirement for the current art practice. And with mobility as its core focus, Olof Art seeks to claim an innovative edge.
