Ol Skoczylas (Oleg_olga) - "Nobody's Here"
Exhibition: 6 November - 8 December 2010
Opening: 6 November 2010, 19 - 22h
...For the first time in Berlin, Warsaw resident artist Ol Skoczylas (oleg-olga) is showing selected photographs in a solo-exhibition. His carefully selected models are portrayed in a state of utter vulnerability, playing with gender, ignoring its traditional roles and stereotypes, but never in an overly extravagant or confident fashion. There is never a clash of elements in his photos, just one or two elements that fit the models in a natural, harmonious way. The emphasis is on the bodyā€™s expressive force, which, in the artistā€™s world, is always gentle and sensitive. The models stand on their own, maintaining a distance from the spectator, almost unwilling to reveal anything about themselves. Inadvertently, they do, which turns us into intruders into the private spheres created between the artist and his musesā€¦
Ol Skoczylas is a self-taught photographer and painter from Warsaw, Poland. He studied philosophy at UKSW university. After obtaining his Masterā€™s degree, Ol started to travel around, initially using photography only as an inspiration for paintings, but little by little he used it to explore the medium and discover his own photographic voice.
