A new body of Olga Feshina’s work is three-dimensional work “Ice Balance. Selfie with Mask.”. The instalation includes a mix of painting with suspended objects that transform the perception of art in a limited space. Curator is Lucy McCarron. In the work, the artist goes on developing tech topic imitating computer technique with painting and shape of icicles and hoarfrost with objects. The suspensions are made of crystal stone, silver, silicone and her typical plexiglass pendants, most of which are made of recycled materials. Feshina depicts a frozen smile like abstract landscape on the painting which looks like smirk. The artist focuses on the problem of ice balance on the Planet and restricting the excessive use of plastic and technology. Otherwise, humanity will have to be content with polyethylene and polyurethane imitations of landscapes very soon.
