SOLITUDE AND DREAMS
OLGA KRYKUN
Solitude and Dreams unfolds like a fever dream, seven paintings that hover between vision and hallucination, their surfaces charged with contradictions. Olga Krykun crafts a visual language that feels otherworldly: a mythology stitched together from folklore and internet fragments, cultural memory and personal longing.
Each canvas opens onto a threshold. Solitude isn’t empty here…it’s alive with whispers. Dreams drift into waking life, not as escapes but as prompts, suggesting other ways to see. Symbols flicker between recognition and enigma. Krykun’s paintings act as portals: radiating a rebellious refusal to conform. The artist gives shape to an interior world whereby her characters dance across the pictorial plane. In this body of work, solitude is not an absence but a generative force; dreams are not escapes but guides into hidden realms. The fever-dream atmosphere lingers, asking us to sit with our own ambiguities; our longing, our transformations, our desire to belong in both the physical and digital mythologies of contemporary life.

PAST:
VISITING HOURS
RUSCHKA DU TOIT
In Visiting Hours, Ruschka du Toit turns her gaze toward a more autobiographical register, finding beauty in the act of becoming. Known for her gestural ink paintings of flowers, du Toit here deepens and complicates that language: moving closer, lingering longer, and allowing the blooms to hold not only sentiment but also rupture, fatigue, and renewal. With this new direction, du Toit expands her vocabulary of tenderness to include fragility as strength and decay as metamorphosis.

SHE GETS BORED (and Other Truths)
XINGXIN HU
In her latest body of work, Xingxin Hu continues her introspective exploration of contemporary femininity: its quiet ruptures, its daily negotiations, its soft intimacies. Drawing from personal memory and second-hand experience, Hu constructs intimate psychological landscapes in which the female body and everyday objects act as vessels for complex emotional states: longing, disconnection, quiet defiance.
