The Silence of the Spectators (2026) Original Collage by Olga Li

A reflection on the paradox of contemporary art: who observes and who is being observed.
In front of a hybrid half-human sculpture, a group of realistic sculptures observes in silence. The line between artwork and audience dissolves into a play of identity and artifice.
The dark-suited figures featured in this collage are inspired by the works of the Spanish sculptor Juan Muñoz.

The certificate of authenticity will be printed in full color, then hand-signed and dated by the artist.

This work is part of my ongoing series of analogue collages.

The reverse side of the support is sealed with water-based transparent acrylic varnish for wood/MDF, helping protect against humidity and environmental changes.
