Everyone knows about Bezpalki. Stoves, plates and bowls, samples of which Olga created at the LKSF, are a delicacy in collections today. But it was her creative works of the 1980s and 2000s that were always little known. And here there is something to talk about. The artist emphasizes that her work was influenced by the sculptor Roman Petruk. However, Bezpalkiv is multi-vector in her searches and finds: without losing herself, she always feels the winds of time.
The artist is self-deprecating, she never misses an opportunity to talk about her short stature, family concerns, and ceramic affairs. She always easily agrees to cooperation, but at the same time she is demanding of herself and her surroundings. I have been preparing for a long time to organize a retrospective. This exhibition will be multi-vocal. There is a conversation in space. We hear those who dialogue with the artist. Autobiographical and metaphorical painting and graphics of husband Roman Bezpalkiv; Bohdan Soroka with a Christmas linorite, which coexists with the Bezpalki nativity scene; relief by Roman Petruk; photo archive of the artist.
When it comes to the title, the retrospective genre best characterizes what is presented at the exhibition. From the thesis of 1971 to fresh works of recent years with an extensive biography. Creative series and searches in space are placed next to samples for the Lviv Ceramic and Sculpture Factory. It is here that you can notice the range of Bezpalki's creativity. From pots with light genre scenes dedicated to Lviv craft workshops and folklore quotes on halba to the philosophy of social relations and family memories in ceramics. From simple utility sets to complex tower-like tubular constructions of works of the early 2000s. One may get the impression that Olga is constantly looking for herself and testing the possibilities of skill and material.
The space of "I Gallery" is filled with works that surround the visitor and provoke interaction. Every object or sculptural composition, despite its realistic or abstract form, stops and captivates.
