Walks in My New York

A Story in Paintings, Photographs, and Text

By: Mikael Olrik

The acclaimed artist and architect shares a strolling, personal tour of a city that has become his creative muse and home away from home. Over the years, Danish architect and artist Mikael Olrik has developed a special relationship with New York City, finding endless inspiration in the vibrant and ever-changing metropolis. In Walks in My New York, Olrik shares his fascinating perspective on New York life through a combination of watercolor, photography and text. Olrik explores the city with the broad view of an architect, the specificity of an artist, the straight-forwardness of a photographer, and the companionable text of a diarist. He captures everything from street scenes of everyday life to pastoral views of Central Park and landmarks such as the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge. Small maps accompany each entry and act as a sort of ‘GPS’ in print.

Walks in My New York: A Story in Paintings, Photographs, and Text

By: Eva Hage Personaleudvikling

This is a book about New York City, as seen through the eyes and sensibilities of Danish architect and artist Mikael Olrik. The combination of watercolor, photograph and text offers the reader an original, multi-dimensional experience of a city so well known and yet still to be discovered, still mystifying. Trained to identify both what is important and what is distinctive, Olrik is gifted, with an intuitive sense of what to capture, what is abiding and totemic about a particular place. While one might anticipate the pastoral Central Park scenes and such landmarks as the Empire State Building and Brooklyn Bridge, the images of Soho tenements and Williamsburg street scenes serve as stark reminders that New York may very well be the most complex city in the world, a city Mikael Olrik respectfully refers to as a living organism. After many extended stays there, he is comfortable in New York; always ready to process its changes and embrace its surprises, but never complacent or jaded.'Walks in My New York" is just that - a strolling, personal tour of New York City and parts of four of its boroughs. Thoughtful guide, Mikael invites you to join him. Positioning you at each stop, he gives you the broad view of an architect, the specificity of an artist, the straight-forwardness of a photographer, and the companionable text of a diarist. You are drawn in and made complicit in the experience. As a bonus, small maps accompany each entry and act as a sort of 'GPS' in print. Mikael Olrik sees to it that you have everything you need to explore a great and restless city abounding in sights and stories. Everything, that is, except a pair of sturdy walking shoes!

All The Lovely People

By: Mikael Mattsson

When Matthew was a child, he was taught to hide his violent urges. Those close to him ensured he lived a good, normal life. But Matthew finds this life dull, meaningless, and empty. Despite having a job where he helps people, Matthew feels no compassion. His partner adores him, but Matthew is incapable of love and suffocates under the weight of affection. Everything changes when two young women are murdered. Matthew knows that as the hunt for the killer intensifies, it won't be long before his own dark secrets are uncovered. The skeletons in his closet are about to be exposed, and the facade of his normal life is on the brink of collapse.
