The social graphic art by Olavi Fellman „SAVE THE PLANET. GRAPHICAL OPINIONS”
Political art against greed and climate catastrophe.
The
basic themes in Olavi’s art are the human condition, climate
change, the endangerment of civilization as in the rights of future
generations, of mother earth and animals. The caricaturistic
characters in his works are taken from art history and artistic
themes, myths, philosophy, music, politics and politicians or the
animal kingdom. The quota of women is substantial.
Olavi
studies the background of his characters to empathize with them and
the different texts in his works are a mixture of the original
character’s statements and Fellman’s ecological message of world
improvement. These works echo a scream for humanity, the climate,
nature and future generations. Olavi himself is the father of two
children and a founder of for example PAND – Artists for peace
-climate team and also active most Fridays in the Climate parents
with Greta Thunberg
movement.
