The Artist…
Robert “Bob” Olszewski is world known for his “all things small” art. He has evolved over the past 30 years creating art in miniature like no other. He continuously takes his figurative art work to extreme levels drawing complimentary comments and inquisitive remarks such as “how does he do that?” His art just gets better and better as he continues challenging not only the medium he works in (which he is always pushing) but the miniaturization of the art’s subject.
In 1978, Olszewski began working in 1/12” scale and today (30 years later) he is creating the popular Disney Main Street, U.S.A. in 1/220th scale. At 62 years of age, he brings another level of intricate art through his creating the new GALLERY OF LIGHT™ product line. Only Olszewski could have created such a delightful setting where memorable moments are captured from the Disney Classic films in miniature. Reducing that magical moment from the screen to a level that measures no more than 8” high is extraordinary. In addition, the new product line, GALLERY OF LIGHT™, provides an additional attraction; electrical lights that center on the film’s most important moment.
The GALLERY OF LIGHT™ Collection…
As a natural extension of his numerous earlier Story Time creations, Robert Olszewski recreates Disney Classic film scenes in 3 dimensional art configured to light up to become GALLERY OF LIGHT™ art. The Gallery of Light pieces are produced in 3 different sizes (small, medium, and large) and are made in two different styles, portrait and landscape. Each piece has a unique on and off switch found on the ornate silver or gold frame that surrounds each single scene. The Gallery of Light operates on either AAA or AA batteries, depending on the size; nor, do they have a timer switch.
The art work makes ideal gifts that can hang on a wall or sit on a book case, night stand, or desk. Turn the light switch on, and re-live the story again captured by Olszewski he has created right from the Disney film. You will become captivated by the art piece taking yourself back to a wonderful moment of the classic film.
Each GALLERY OF LIGHT™ offers 3 dimensional layering of the subject that Olszewski selects. For example, the front layer of “Belle Dances with the Beast “ allows the eye to slowly wander from the foreground to the background. During the brief mini-journey, you become awestruck at the impeccable detail of Olszewski’s “all things small” expertise he exemplifies throughout the piece. His own emotion comes through quickly as your emerge yourself into this marvelous collectible art. Each film has several lasting memories but Olszewski has captured what he feels as the most important from each film; and successfully transfers that moment to the art.
