About Artist
Making his home in Mesquite, Artist
Casey James Olesen is a member of the Fine
Art Association and a valued member of the National Sculpture
Society. The diverse gifts Casey
brings to the world of Fine
Art is of divine inspiration,
because of his passion and openness to all types of medium in
the Arts. Casey may be engaged in an oil painting one day and found working
three dimensionally in clay the next. His life long work reflects
his primary interest in the physical human form. Casey's strong
drive for exploring and depicting historic Native Americans of the old west
and his current spiritual beliefs
are depicted in most of his works.
Casey's natural
born interest is in human anatomy and focus on figurative
sculpture. Creating such realistic detail that the viewer can actually
connect on a personal level with feelings the artist is capturing, whether
it be mood, anatomy or individuality.
His work is
seldom idealized; every muscle or draping roll of fat is important because
of what it communicates. On some level Casey's work may invite the viewer to
confront their own personal feelings about physical beauty, and on another
more important level, each piece is a statement about what it is like for
our Being to experience
human form.
Casey states;
"I succeed when I cause my viewer to feel an emotion, whether spiritual or a
joyful chuckle. On a deeper level, I know my work is a physical
manifestation of my emotional state when I create... I thoroughly enjoy
my life's purpose and
the ability to bring joy and blessings to others when I can share and allow
this gift of our Divine Oneness to work through me .
