Olga Ivanova Ivanova Under Pressure is the latest project by Russian born artist, Olga Ivanova. At only 20, her acute perceptions of the world around her create violent and physical pieces of work; the paper crumples beneath splatters of acrylic and her figures appear taught with tensions and repressed desires. By providing an additional layer of collage in her pieces, she injects an agitated texture, reminiscent of modernity and 21st century angst. ‘I try to reveal the fears of society like not being free to express yourself and the necessity of rude actions in order to survive. All my heroes are making their own choices and the most important thing for me is to show their feelings through colours and shapes.’'
