Member News: Oleg Lobykin
Oleg Lobykin brought three sculptures to Burning Man 2022, one a representational work called "Meta Girl" and two abstract pieces called "Particles VII" and "Particles IX". Oleg says about his experience; “This was my 15th burn. Every time I leave the Playa thinking it's going to be my last time at Burning Man. But, when I have art to share, I go back to this unique place that still inspires me by creativity on every level. It's a different world, an unusual art gallery under the open sky. There is no place like this.”

Natasha Dikareva, "On Another Shore", 2022, exhibition view. Natasha Dikareva has a solo exhibition titled On Another Shore at Millspace Gallery in Newmarket, NH, September 8 through October 16, 2022. Natasha, a Ukrainian Sculptor, says this about her work in the exhibition, “My sculptures shifted dramatically since Russia invaded my motherland Ukraine. They became punctured with holes as if shelled by bombs, and propaganda, the surfaces covered with crawling glazes reminiscent of ashes. Each of these sculptures reflect a particular moment of this war.” For more information, see https://millspace.org/event/on-another-shore-powerful-visions-in-clay-by-natasha-dikareva/
