Olga Florenskaya

[LCR]

I do not know anything about this artist, except that it had something to do with Georgia.
I saw her pictures just the other day, and they fascinated me.
Naive is art or not - what's the difference, admire!

Putting 8 works in a series of "Copenhagen" and the two mosaics.

Wife's best, in my opinion, "Mitka" - Alexander Florensky.
Here and in "Kopegagene" Mitkovskaya handwriting looked through.

Which, if not mistaken, is also an active collector of contemporary art and often shows things from his collection to a variety of exhibitions.

If we are talking about the "little sister" Olga Florenskaya, we can not say that she is gifted with diverse people. I well remember her wonderful "rag" (sorry do not have my photo) - a variety of embroidered cloth made in collage style. Good idea about these things, you can also consist of not less interesting screenprint, who are willing to impose. Next to last photo - it's one of the objects they make with Sasha (a series of "Skeletons"). Of course, it's not naive art, is a professional artist with a fairly high art culture.

Here's help on it from the wiki:

Olga Florenskaya was born in Leningrad in 1960. In 1982 she graduated from the Leningrad Higher School of Industrial Art named Fly. She studied ceramics. Became famous because of its panels of fabric on the marine and biblical themes. Poet, singer-songwriter "Farewell Song" included in the book "Mitkovskaya silence." Directed and animated by the artist's own tale of "The Miracle of miracles." Member of the organizing group of artists "Mitka" (1985). In 1990, together with her husband Alexander Florensky trainee at the Institute des hautes etudes en art plastiques (Director - Pontyus Hulthen).

Lives and works in St. Petersburg.

With Georgia and its associated long-Sasha to enter into relations with the local artistic medium. They each year (sometimes repeatedly) go there. They've got many friends among the artists. It seems the year before to now, unfortunately, closed down the magazine "Nomi" was an article about O. Florenskaya young Georgian artists - virtually "terra incognita" for Russia.

Also bring photos of the famous book "about hungry fools" - is O & A Florenskie in the studio of the famous artist. Dear LCR, Sasha and Olga - a long and loyal admirers Mikhail Roginsky. Perhaps you might be interested, I was once told Alexander that he at one time contributed to the German collectors, spouses Loewe (the now unfortunately deceased) from Cologne in their purchase of a number of works Roginsky. This collection, as far as I know, survived, though changed hands.
