Gallery | Olga Gerke
Olga was born in Leningrad (now St Petersburg), former USSR, and is currently living in Manchester, England.
She studied Art at one of the top art schools in the country and also has a degree in Law from St Petersburg State University. She has started to paint again quite recently and already participated in two exhibitions of Everyman gallery in Manchester.
Her influences include Emile Nolde, Japanese artists, Egon Schiele and many others.
Olga also writes fiction, short stories about everyday life, and she hopes one day her stories and an autobiographic short novel will be translated into English.
I like to reflect in my paintings the ideas of birth and growth, illness and health, density and transparency, spontaneity and randomness, austerity and abundance. My pictures are often colorful, but I also like muted colors and monochrome.
My preference of watercolor as a medium is aimed at reflecting the idea of ever-changing transparent world that we live in. I paint still lives, portraits and figurative art, and have recently started painting landscapes as well. I believe one never paints what one sees – instead one paints something that one can see beyond the visible. I try to reflect the ideas of strength or fragility or calm, and I pass the energy. “You don’t look for anything… You don’t look at anything. You look with” (Lisa Dierbeck, “One pill makes you smaller”).
