Kalfayan Galleries present the solo exhibition of Sasha Streshna titled “Devon Loch”. The opening will take place onWednesday, 28 June 2023 (19.00 – 22.00).In her solo exhibition at Kalfayan Galleries, Sasha Streshna presents a new series of oil paintings which continues herresearch on western history painting tradition, focusing primarily on depictions of violence, repression andauthority.In her new series, Streshna references found images from soviet textbooks. While obscuring the evidence thatwould allow the viewer to recognise an event, Streshna converts the illustrations through a painting language thatentails suggestive contours and a colour pallet with no apparent contrasts. Hence, the stories of rebellions areexplored as incoherent and emotionally charged memories, rather than particular events.
