Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a large, striking green basin-like structure resembling a bathtub or a container, set on a metal frame. The vibrant green color and rough, uneven texture of the surface suggest the use of a unique material or technique, likely a resin or a composite material. The container holds a single yellow object, adding a contrasting pop of color against the dominant green hue. The overall composition creates a minimalist, yet visually intriguing piece that invites the viewer to consider the artist's intention behind the choice of materials and the placement of the elements. This unconventional sculpture reflects the contemporary artist's exploration of new forms and materials, challenging traditional perceptions of everyday objects. ...

Olga Balema’s artworks are an investigation of form. They are characterised by a tense relationship and contrasts in materiality, often comprising a hard framework with soft, fragile innards. Balema frequently employs latex which, especially in Bread for Life (2016), is held taut and barbed by jagged steel rods, or perhaps armatures, recalling Eva Hesse’s postminimalist practice and the slow sagging of the material over time. The notion of tension – perhaps most commonly, representations of the contrast between the hard bones of a human skeleton and the flesh that furnishes it – are further echoed in the rubber bands and shoelaces plotting a geometry across the gallery floor in brain damage (2019), the teetering globules of latex, moulded to look like breasts, protruding from the globe in 2016’s Globe, tacked on unsteadily, and the soft PVC sacks filled with steel rods and water, ready to burst, in Threat to Civilization 2 (2015). ...

Croy Nielsen
Vienna

In 2016 Croy Nielsen moved from Berlin to Vienna, where it is located in the beletage apartment of a historical building in the 1st district. The gallery was founded by Oliver Croy (AT) and Henrikke Nielsen (DK). Artists such as Nina Beier, Marie Lund, and Benoît Maire, have been part of the program since its inception, and were later joined by Olga Balema, Georgia Gardner Gray, and Sandra Mujinga. Vienna-based artists include Ernst Yohji Jaeger, Joanna Woś, and Soshiro Matsubara. The gallery has strong ties to the Nordic region, representing several artists from the Scandinavian contries and regularly participating in fairs and projects in the area. ...
