The Abstract paintings of Tommie Olofsson are reminiscent of early or Analytical Cubism and Surrealism as they either fragment the image into multiple areas like a kaleidoscope or
force subtle contradictions within the viewers sense of the familiar. The paintings are composed with sophistication and poise causing the viewer to study them as if to achieve some truer sense of the subject than if it were realistically brought forth from the picture plane.

Tommie Olofsson's Collection of oil paintings
shows a skill and familiarity with the concepts
and applications of Cubism, particularly the
earlier phase known as "Analytical", before
the inception of foreign or found objects and
variant color that came later in the "Synthetic"
phase of Cubism's growth.
