Karin Clarke Gallery welcomes spring with a glorious exhibit of new paintings by local artist Olga Volchkova. Russian-born, Volchkova was trained as an icon painter and conservator, and is well-known in this region because of popular exhibit Olga Volchova: The Nature of Religion, at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art (JSMA) (2015-2016), and an in-depth feature on her on OPB’s Oregon Art Beat. “(Volchkova) uses her knowledge of Orthodox iconography and her love of botany to create provocative paintings that explore the history of florae. Through intensive research about each plant specimen she portrays, Volchkova creates visual narratives that explore the mythologies humans have created around plants, while expertly rendering the form of each leaf, petal, and tendril.” (from JSMA website)
