Belonging to Elsewhere
KalinerNoa Ironic Olga Kundina Dana Nechmad Ruti De Vries Natalia Zourabova Kaliner brings together five artists who, within their practices, express their own perception of belonging, where intimate feelings of longing are explored through different mediums and representations. Noa Ironic's paintings explore the feeling of belonging through her personal experiences, where she transforms herself and those she knows into vivid characters, both animal and human. Olga Kundina's vibrant and expressive paintings capture everyday life and street interactions. Her works highlight how the harmonious relationships and daily interactions in her neighborhoods define social fabric and community. Dana Nechmad is an interdisciplinary artist. Her ongoing series is inspired by Ancient Roman sculptures, turning them into her own private mythology. Ruti De Vries expresses belonging through her acrylic on canvas pieces where characters are interconnected through storytelling and stage-like environments. Natalia Zourabova paints scenes that she knows intimately with rich familiar interiors from her home where the viewer is immersed the intimate warmth of her abode.
