About the Artist

Olga Loschinina’s breathtaking photographs seamlessly capture the sublime grandeur of the natural world we inhabit. The artist’s works are often rife with vibrant color, a pristine, nearly microscopic clarity and a sense of scale that reminds her audiences of the colossal breadth of the earth’s most natural monuments.

In works such as Rorbu (Fisherman Houses) (2017), clusters of dockside coastal dwellings impend upon an icy Norwegian sea. A group of towering, snow-capped mountains rise above the dwellings in the background, partially obscured by a thick layer of fog towards the top of the composition. Only a faint silhouette of a nearly gargantuan mountain allows the viewer to comprehend the vast difference in proportion between man and nature. The artist explains: “When I witness different flashes of life, I try to catch and revive them, prolong these moments and share them with the public by displaying my works.”

About the Exhibition

Life is But a Dream is a group show that explores the surreality of memory and identity in a world too often constructed to resemble a mere product on the shelf of popular culture. Comprising 17 artists, the primary link joining them together is how memory can be reshaped by the imagination. These artists all share in examining the content of what they remember, with social and familial life acting as a lens through which they reexamine recollected moments.
