Artwork location: United States

"The dream of millions of the USSR: a garage and a Zhigul. Kopeika/Semerka - it doesn't matter. But it's a class of society. It's a privilege. It's all wages for one goal. In a world where everything is on coupons, tangerines by the crates for New Year, bread queues, where everything and everyone is the same. Yes, a lot of things, but the happiest childhood, with friends in these garages barefoot, skinned knees and bonfires on the river with a loudly working stereo from those very same Zhiguli.
It's a dream of a whole generation: garage and Zhiguli.
But where are these dreams now? After time: an abandoned garage, sunk in a semi-marsh and rusted legend of the automobile industry, the dream of millions without wheels and with knocked out headlights, once rubbed to a shine. Time..."

It's an artwork that beautifully marries a powerful emotional story—of dreams, hard work, and the inevitable passage of time—with a captivating aesthetic. Perfect for those who seek to adorn their homes with art that is not only visually stunning but also deeply meaningful. This original acrylic on canvas acts as a magnetic conversation starter, drawing viewers into its narrative of nostalgia and transformation. An excellent choice for a distinctive gift or for curating a unique personal gallery, this artwork integrates seamlessly into modern living rooms, offices, or any space desiring a blend of contemporary style and profound storytelling.

Olga Shanina, The Legend car // where all dads' salaries lived
Russian Federation  • 1984

Presentation

Olga Shanina was born in 1984, in Perm region. After graduated from The Ural State University, the IAHP in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA and got the Master degree of Psychology in 4 different directions.  From 2021, has been attending art classes at Lev Khabarov art workshops, the arch-founder of the whole movement in Art “The Ural Underground”. That has defined her professional path, and resulted in a fruitful collaboration with a number of galleries, museums, private, and social projects from Europe and Russia. Gran-prix of the Sweden Art Festival and exhibitions in London Galeries has become an important step in the process of exploring and building her artistic style, its fundamental principles and philosophy. 

As an artist. Olga Shanina works with a person’s perception of the ordinary routine through the prism of conscious and subconscious, evoking emotional images through monochromatic  images, exploring their influences on memory print and colour perception.

Diving into the issues of the human nature fabric and mental processes —its aggression, its idealistic forms, virtual leaders and plural main-streamers —she explores the ecology of consciousness, the hygiene of the soul in the context of high-speed human consumption . The artist shares her view of the state and place of an individual in the age of extra ego and following the crowd thinking while slowly losing ourselves. 

The nature of personal boundaries And its absence.

The support hides in memories the inner world, reflecting colours of our soul. It’s about the philosophy of fears and complexes. It’s about the beauty of the inner world of every person, hidden from himself, which must be remembered and rediscovered, mentioning the past experience and color  that  moment  in a bright new way.
