Art of Mythology

Today, I share quick videos of art exhibitions I recently attended.

Above, Paulina Olowska’s works focus on women from gardening magazines and Slavic mythology.

Below is Olga Chernysheva’s “Untitled (As a Rule…).”

“As a rule people-sandwiches are not interested in each other; although they often look like fairytale characters that may well embark on an adventure.”

Below is Uhi (Hahan) Handoko Eko Saputro. The artist brings together Javanese mythology with youth culture and comic books to explore colonisation and how art is marketed and sold.

Finally, Xu Chen, “Eternity-Buddha in Nirvana…” Born in China, the artist draws on his Buddhist upbringing to show depictions of the Buddha. He says:

“I have always been curious about the differences between cultures and the alienation between them. And yet, the misconceptions cab be the beginning of awareness and understanding.”
