Olga Koumoundouros’ provocative practice actively engages ideas of labor, class, and human sustenance. Using common industrial materials [cement, tar, and salvaged building fragments] Olga’s work transforms the stuff of daily life into an evocative commentary on social reality. Through hands-on engagement with material processes, her sculptures and drawings reflect a raw subjectivity and explore the dynamics of power through blunt gestures and bold forms.
Olga had a solo exhibition at REDCAT this past June and was included in the 2005 exhibition Thing: New Sculptures from Los Angeles at UCLA’s Hammer Museum. Olga’s art has been featured at Open Satellite (Bellevue, WA), and Adamski Gallery (Aachen, Germany), and in group exhibitions at the Cultuurcentrum Brugge (Belgium), LAX ART, Creative Time (New York), and the Studio Museum of Harlem. She now has a show up at LA Louver project space in Venice, CA.
Olga lives and works in Los Angeles and is represented by Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects.
