OLGA BALEMA is an artist based in Amsterdam whose work is made up of surfaces that she pleats, curves, stretches, expands and contracts to explore sculptural concerns of volume, dimension and weight. Working with found, ready made and fabricated objects, BALEMA’s work moves fluently between various stylistic reference points, from minimal through to pop art and on to the more organic. Her pieces leave the viewer both intrigued, and puzzled by the processes and materials.

Good news: OLGA BALEMA‘s work is currently on view in the group exhibitions: “Material Memory” at Fluxia, Milan, from January 23-March 8; “Apples and Pears” at DREI, Cologne, from January 24-March 8; and “Geographies of Contamination” at DRAF, London, from January 31-March 29.
