Per Olsson's new and dynamic photo series, of which one version is produced in collaboration with the internationally established Swedish artist Lars Tunebo, with its well-crafted designs of sensual models and powerful props, creates a cinematic retro feeling. In combination with Lars Tunebo's disruptive and colorful animal motif, a decorative narrative emerges that reinforces the effects of the work in the recipient.

Per Olsson's work of art, classical compositions are vibrating of decadence, with the purpose of touching the perpetrator with his timeless aesthetics, as well as challenging the norms that occur both unconsciously and consciously. But at the same time also pay attention and celebrate the stylish appeal of the clothing codes that come with some subcultures and sports.

His crisp and clearly arranged photographs perceives of the eternal works from icons like Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Anton Corbijn and Guy Bourdin. Conscious, confident, brave, sensual women with the attitude of perfect misplaced rhinoceros, flamingos and horses in clear colors generate dynamic energy and form a visual magic.

– After a lot of preparation and that I, together with my colleague, selected different locations and models with precision, I come to the places where I want to shot the already "finished" images in my head. Everything is certainly not carved in stone because once I have taken the planned pictures I also do a series of photos on pure experience mixed with the feeling that appears for the moment, says Per Olsson.
