Brian Olsen’s Art in Action is something so amazing it must be seen to believe! Using both hands simultaneously and up to six paint brushes, Brian wildly paints portraits of pop icons on a 4×6 foot canvas. His painting is choreographed to music and the performance is done live on stage in a mind blowing 8 minutes start to finish. You must see this show to believe it! Brian is the only student of renowned artist Denny Dent!

Nice to see someone …
Nice to see someone carrying on in Denny’s place. I always made it a priority to catch his performances at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival in Denver. One year no one in the audience could tell what the heck he was painting until he turned the canvas upside down at the end and then it was obviously a portrait of Jagger! Keep paintin’ Brian!

So what if he …
So what if he creates similar paintings on stage…it is what the people want to see.
I have never met Brian. I hope some days our paths will cross. He would understand it when I say working with Denny is a badge of honor. And although I miss Denny I still remember him fondly with the John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix pictures hanging in my office.
Good luck Brian and keep living the legacy…we need a troubadour like you to spread Denny’s message through art.

I disagree with the …
I disagree with the poster who feels that these paintings are “plagiarized” from Denny. I had known Denny for many years. I was his tour manager and helped book him gigs. From what I understand Brian was also a tour manager, however was also an artist. Denny looked to Brian to carry on this legacy. However there are differences between both.

I completely disagree. It is obvious that Brian is Denny’s protege- especially since he gives homage to Denny. Brian was lucky enough to study under the best and pays tribute to Denny and this artform by carrying it on.

the very least you could do is use different paintings…these are PLAGIARIZED from Denny Dent…this creep should be stopped for PLAGIARISM
