Artist Statement of Olga Shcheblykina

The installations consist of large and small objects scattered across a room, as if torn from a larger painting, inviting viewers to engage with the unfolding narrative.

Each installation is akin to a crime scene waiting to be explored, drawing the audience into a complex tableau that resists organization and hierarchy, existing as a plane of pure potentiality, multiplicity, and fluidity.

My sculptures, characterized by bulging forms and tactile surfaces, challenge conventional boundaries by rejecting rigid structures and appearing as living entities.

They blur the line between viewer and artwork, presenting dynamic, ever-evolving forms that defy traditional sculptural norms.

My paintings continue this exploration with impasto techniques and voluminous textures, extending the canvas into the viewer's space.

The layers and protrusions create a sense of depth and movement, resisting fixed identity.

The spontaneous, unblended colors transform the painting into a living, breathing surface pulsating with life and energy.

The hybrid forms in my work, which combine elements of painting and sculpture, transcend traditional art categories, existing in a liminal space where form and meaning are in constant flux.

These objects challenge viewers to reconsider the nature of art and the boundaries that define it, embodying a call to dismantle hierarchical structures and embrace diversity.

My art is a testament to the power of disruption and reimagining the boundaries of body and space.

My work challenges us to embrace the constant interplay between order and chaos.
