Olivia Drusin is a New York-based painter whose works critically engage with the psychological dimensions of public and private spaces through a perceptual lens. Her work meticulously dissects the banalities of everyday life, exposing the latent disquietude that permeates seemingly mundane encounters. Drusin's paintings traverse the intersection of the ordinary and the uncanny, manifesting as stark, reductive representations of thresholds and obscured moments that invite a deeper contemplation of the intersections between sight, space, and psychological engagement.
