Olga Chernysheva is one of the most famous contemporary Russian artists. She has received international recognition as an author who works with an understanding of the Russian reality and the technical ways of its reproduction in the visual arts. She is equally proficient in various media, from graphics and painting to photography and video.
Chernysheva's works are included in the world's largest collections, such as MOMA (New York), Tate Modern (London), and many other museum, private, and corporate collections in Russia and around the world.
The artist's works are most often combined in a series with a common name, technique and basic compositional principles. It is quite common for the images created during the process of working on one series to resurface in new works, using a different medium. Therefore, Chernysheva's paintings and graphics are often based on her own photographs, frames from videos or movies.
