LEIF LARSON
Since graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 2005, Leif Larson has been creating, showing and selling his art work across the United States. He’s shown in galleries, museums, universities, and public buildings all over Wisconsin, and in galleries and public buildings in New York, Northern and Southern California, Illinois, and Arkansas. His acrylic paintings, drawings, water colors, and murals deal with many different subjects involving human and animal behavior, human made objects and spaces, nature, light and color relationships. His work is represented by Gallery Five 3 Gallery in Laguna Beach, CA., The Art Collective in Rodgers, AR., Real Tinsel Gallery in Milwaukee, WI and the Riverwalk Art Center in Fond Du Lac, WI.
“Before all this happened, I was working on a series of paintings for a gallery show called ‘We Need Our Space,’” said Larson, “The paintings were all about the relationships people have with the spaces they inhabit, how we value our personal space and how we need our distance. Then all of a sudden this happened. Our lives changed overnight and we were all forced to confront what it means to be confined to our homes. Everything I had been working on suddenly took on a new meaning and I had this weird thing to wrestle with — how I could use this time to make a statement about the crisis we’re living through, while also remaining an optimist who adds some hope to the world as an artist.”
Larson sees crisis as a condition that can bring out the best in people, including artists.
自從2005年從威斯康辛大學奧什科什分校畢業以來，利夫·拉爾森一直在美國各地創作、展示和銷售他的藝術作品。他的作品在威斯康辛州各地的畫廊、博物館、大學和公共建築中展出，也在紐約、南加州、伊利諾斯州和阿肯色州的畫廊和公共建築中展出。他的丙烯畫、素描、水彩畫和壁畫涉及許多不同的主題，涉及人類和動物的行為、人造物體和空間、自然、光和顏色的關係。他的作品由加州拉古納海灘的5號畫廊3號畫廊、AR. Rodgers的藝術集體、WI. Milwaukee的Real Tinsel畫廊和Fond Du Lac的Riverwalk藝術中心代表。拉爾森說:「在這一切發生之前，我正在為一個名為‘我們需要我們的空間’的畫廊展覽創作一系列畫作。這些畫都是關於人們與他們所居住的空間之間的關係，我們如何珍惜個人空間，我們如何需要距離。」然後突然發生了這一切。我們的生活一夜之間改變了，我們都被迫面對被限制在家裡意味著什麼。一切我一直致力於突然有了新的意義,我這奇怪的事情對付我可以利用這段時間如何聲明我們重新經歷的危機,同時保持一個樂觀的人增加了一些希望世界作為一個藝術家。拉森認為，危機是一種能讓人(包括藝術家)表現出最好一面的狀態。

Olga Nikitina
Born in 1998, Olga Nikitina is a Russian painter involved in the growing field of underwater painting. After moving to Egypt and working as a scuba diver instructor in the Red Sea, Nikitina fell in love with the vibrant corals and marine life in contrast to the surrounding desert landscape. Totally immersed in the marine environment, Nikitina paints using a special canvas cover and non-toxic oil paints, thanks to Andre Laban, the original pioneer of the practice and the engineer of Jacques Cousteau’s team.
She hopes that her work will inspire others to appreciate these treasures, spread awareness about the environment changes, and protect them for future generations to come.
出生於1998年的奧爾加·尼利基娜是一位俄羅斯畫家，她涉足水下繪畫這一不斷髮展的領域。在搬到埃及並在紅海擔任水肺潛水員教練後，尼利基娜愛上了與周圍沙漠景觀形成對比的生機勃勃的珊瑚和海洋生物。完全沉浸在海洋環境中，Nikitina使用一種特殊的帆布覆蓋物和無毒的油彩來作畫，這要歸功於該實踐的最初開拓者和雅克·庫斯托團隊的工程師安德列·拉班（Andre Laban）。她希望她的工作能激發其他人欣賞這些寶藏，傳播對環境變化的意識，併為子孫後代保護它們。
