Transcoded Structures
Olga Tobreluts
March 14 - May 18, 2025
The show will feature three painting series produced by the artist over the past 15 years, as well as the most comprehensive retrospective of her video art to date.
Tobreluts is the only - and possibly the last - artist of her generation who is much more captivated by clouds and the sky than by what lies beneath her feet.
She has an extraordinary ability to cast aside all trivial and fleeting things, overcome obstacles and barriers, and embrace challenges and seemingly unattainable goals. A visionary artist of remarkable talent and versatility, she was the first, back in the early 1990s, to foresee the meteoric rise of new media in art, and the first to commit herself to traditional painting techniques, just like those taking religious vows commit themselves to a monastery. During the 1990s, she audaciously experimented with video and photography, developing a brand-new artistic vocabulary inspired by digital technology. Today, these works are owned by major museums and important private art collectors worldwide. However, Tobreluts has dedicated the last 15 years to traditional painting, focusing on three large-scale projects. While they may appear unrelated at first glance, each is deeply rooted in the artist's personal reflections and experiences, and collectively they co-exist in a complex and dynamic dialogue. As of now, the most important of her ongoing projects comprises more than 240 paintings, some of which will be on display at the show organized by the Foundation.
