About the Item

This larger than life wall sculpture created in the form of white sunglasses, reveals the impact our modern way of life has on nature. Kosheleva uses light, color, and illusion as a way of radicalizing the infinite issues effecting animals and nature. This sculpture depicts two representations of our planet that are spinning in opposite directions - one side spins on the left, the other side to the right, as if we were not so sure in which direction our planet spins... When looking closer at each lens, one can see a youthful human face peering back, seeming to wonder what the future holds. Contemporary Ukrainian artist Olga Kosheleva is a sculptor whose works transmit her passion for the protection of our Planet. Known as the "Sunglasses Girl" throughout world art salons, due to her love of wearing hand-painted sunglasses, as well as due to her works — large, two-meter-high sunglasses sculptures that are hard to miss. Olga was born in Kyiv in 1986, the year of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. This is one of the reasons why the artist focuses so much attention on environmental problems. The objects that come into focus — such as people, animals, plants — are inversely multiplied, emphasizing through repetition their essential essence. Her three-dimensional surfaces tease viewers, beckoning them to plunge into a new world somewhere between reality and illusion. As we look deep inside the artwork, we start to see the amazing inner world of the Planet; we interact with the artwork and hear the voice of the Universe. Olga's art radiates bold, positive energy. It is light, colorful, joyful and playful art that at the same time is also the artist's reflection on the catastrophes and the pain of the Universe. In her 20s Olga travelled extensively through Africa, Latin America, and Asia, even living for a while among the Masai in Kenya. These journeys fine-tuned her search for a balance between the natural life and the comfort of modern technology. ‘We are part of the natural world, not apart from it. Can I change this world? I'm sure that I can! I am doing this with the help of my glasses sculptures, changing the vision of people. Because nature itself is calling upon us to act!’ At the outset of her career, Kosheleva utilized more traditional oil and acrylic paints on canvas. In 2015, she began creating sculptures, always using found objects such as discarded wheels, bath-tubs, bicycles, telephones, and more. Olga’s work reflects a new stage of life on our Planet. “It is important for me that art spans all spheres of life. That is why I love to appear in unexpected places and do art performances, attracting attention to environmental threats, but focused on creating a bright future for our Universe.” Olga Kosheleva has participated in exhibitions in the Ukraine, France, Monaco, Italy, Canada, and the USA and her work is in many private collections in Europe and the United States. In 2017, Olga received an award from the Biennale del Belvedere di San Leucio, Italy. Kosheleva’s sculpture, “Icebreakers,” was awarded the Leonardo da Vinci prize in Florence in January 2018.
